Foiling little fingers

Oct 13, 2006 19:11


Isabel is exhausting me.  Now that she is crawling, she has become an explorer.  She doesn't even notice her toys anymore except as obstacles on her way to new territory.  She greets everything with a curious index finger.  Her favourite finds are things that can be unpacked (yesterday she pulled all our magazines off their bookshelf and the computer CD's out of their box in the drawer and out of their sleeves) and buttons that make lights come on.  This includes the alarm clock, some tv remote controls, cell phones, and the computer.  I haven't been able to use the computer for about a week because she likes to crawl over and turn it off (and back on, and then off, and then on, until it froze up altogether).  BUT in a rare moment of inspiration I thought to tape a glass caster over the power button. The smart part is that the caster has little feet which raise it far enough off the power button that the button can't be pushed by pressing the glass.  Ha ha!
