My ds, 14 months, has always been an active boy, but is now taking his physical abilities to new heights (literally ). I can't seem to take my eyes off him for a minute without finding him on the dining room table, in the bathroom sink or somewhere equally heart stoppingly dangerous.
Usually I will try and accommodate his dare devil antics with a trip to soft play, parks and the likes but I seem to be having trouble with times where I need to be doing something, like cooking him dinner. My apartment layout does not allow me to be in the kitchen and watch what he is doing. I am now doing all the food prep work on the dining room table so i can watch him and only be in the kitchen for the actual cooking bit, and poking my head around the corner at any noise or non-noise (im now clued up on this fear of slience thing). My normal tactic has been to try and keep him occupied, a light snack, a little but of tv (I know don't shoot me ), games, pots and pans etc, but this doesn't seem to be working. His present fascination is with the dining room table and anything on it. In light of this I have tried removing everything off the table, again to no avail. Maybe he just loves the higher advantage point.
So after my long winded post, please come and share your tips on how to avoid any trips to a&e. or just share your stories and make me feel like I'm not alone.
