We couldn’t wait for our baby to walk. Now she is on the move and into everything. She loves to open the cabinets and either empty them or put toys in there. My husband installed safety latches that do a good job of keeping her out of the cabinets.
She can open them about two inches but no further. She doesn’t seem to get frustrated. Today she tried to slide something into the open crack, but it just landed on the floor. She left it there. I guess she will come back to it when she is ready.
My sister-in-law mentioned that she was given the advice of emptying her bottom cabinets of pots and pans when she had a toddler. She use to put her can goods on the bottom shelves. This turned into a problem as my nephew loved to peel the labels off of cans. So, they had a lot of mystery vegetables for dinner.
If you have a toddler and keep your groceries on lower shelves, take a sharpie and mark your cans. This way if the labels do get peeled off, at least you know what is in each can.
