Jack has never been a mouthy baby. He's never been the kid to try and put metal objects in the power sockets. He's weird. No, really. He is. What 2 year old WANTS his clothes on?? And doesn't rip his socks and shoes off in stores? Mine.
Anyway. We've reached the putting fingers into finger sized holes in the last couple of days. Last night Jack got his finger stuck in his toy hammer. There is a hole to hang it from a peg on his workbench.
Jack has a weird quirk. Being the highly responsible parents we are, about 2/3 of our outlets are covered with the plastic plug protectors. Jack gets protective of his outlet covers. For example, we have one behind his train table that we usually keep plugged up. I like to sit in our recliner with my laptop plugged in. Jack does not like it when his outlets are not protected. He unplugs my laptop and replaces the plastic cover. It's very responsible, really, except for when I have a dying laptop. Thankfully, he hasn't yet figured out that other things fit in the outlets.
We use the Safety 1st Secure Press Plug Protectors. They have a little flap to help push them away from the wall, negating the need for nails and sharp metal instruments to remove them when you want to plug something in.
The same plug that we adore has a perfect Jack thumb shaped rounded tip. Poor guy put his thumb in and got it stuck. I'm thankful that the plastic is pretty thin and I was able to push the flap the opposite direction and remove his thumb. I kissed his thumb and sent him on his merry way. I think one of the best things about Jack being 2 is that he's realized that mommy and daddy can fix everything with a kiss.
