take the key and lock them up

The knobs on nearly all of the doors in our apartment are as ancient as the building itself. Because of their age, they get stuck easily and are often hard to turn, which is one major reason why Garrett cannot open them.

Or perhaps I should say couldn't open them.

This morning he figured it out, thus plunging us headfirst into a new and potentially frightening era at our house.

Now if you'll excuse me, I need to go bury deeper the Christmas presents I am hiding in my closet.

Oh! I understand completely. We went through the same situation here, too. The bathroom door has a lock that he quickly figured out, so we immediately installed safety latches high up on the outside of the bathroom and closet doors. I don't care how ugly it looks. Safety first!

Once they can open the doors...there's no holding them back!

Little Sal just figured out how to take the safety locks off the door...that of course makes it so much easier to open. I tried to convince him that we needed the safety locks on there to protect Nicholas, but he just looked at me like "Mom, Nicky doesn't open the doors."

haha! Garrett probably senses something special behind certain doors... Henry just figured out how to 1. flush toilets, and 2. pull the shower lever in the bathtub!
