Noisy Boys!

So we figured after babyproofing in February, just in time for Gabe's 1st birthday and for him to start walking around, that we made our kitchen TOTALLY BORING! He can't get into anything....which can be viewed as both a pro or a con, depending on who's judging and what the cicrumstances are.
We've been told that every child needs at least one cabinet to "get into" that contains pots and pans to play with. So....I gave Gabe a pot and a wooden spoon to play with and he loved it. He banged and dragged that pot around everywhere and still has it! He thought all that racket he was able to make was a real hoot and now everytime the dishwasher is open and he sees a wooden spoon in it, he starts trying to grab it and pull it out.
If he put the pot on his head, he could pretend to be Johnny Appleseed!!
