He's Taking out everything from the cupboard!

He at the age of curiosity! He need to adventure averything that he could reach. Guess you have to pack the sharp items and dangerous thing away. Tell him 'NO' each time he touches things that you don't allow him to. He will soon learn the 'NO' items and won't go near.

My one yr olds greatest enjoyment is to take ALL my pots and pans out of the cabinet and then put them back in making as much noise as possible. He doesn't bang on them he just takes them out one by one and puts them back in one by one over and over! LoL.. It doesn't bother me that he does this they are all metal pots so the worst he can do is put a dent in them and he hasn't so far done anything dangerous with them so its okay. Pots can be replaced but his enjoyment in what he is doing is so cute I can't help but let him! He also has seen his older brother (3yrs) take his bowl or plate to the sink and my one yr old has since started doing this too! Its so cute cause he has to stand on tip toes and stretch way up to get it up there but he does and he thinks it is the greatest thing in the world! I guess I lucked out because he has a good big brother who is being a pretty good example to him... They both help me pick up throughout the day. My one yr old gets to put his and his brothers plates from breakfast, lunch and snacktime in the sink and my 3 yr old picks up toys! Yep I got two great little boys even though as my 3 yr old will tell you they are not my helpers I am their "Good helper Mommy"

It's normal. They are learning and curious at that age. When my kids were little, I kept things like pans and canned goods in the lower cupboards and let them explore. Ya they cluttered but that's what kid's do. You can by safety latches for the silverware drawer that work really good. I actually put my sharp knives in a bucket and kept it up high. As for your question...I don't know if the word "annoy" really applies but maybe....somedays I'd get tired because at that age...it's all repetitious and constant. On a whole...I loved being a mom and watching over my kids when they were small. your human...your going to have "those days".

lol =D The baby in my house is doing the same thing as well.. lol =D THough she's only a few months old, but she has started to crawl, as well as being interested in all sorts of things.. The more we tried to put away something, the more she will wanna reach for it.. haha =D Even when we have locked our drawers, she will still be reaching for the keys in instead.. And if happen that we forgot to lock any, she will then open those drawers and taking out whatever things she can find in there.. lol =D Though annoying, but it's quite entertaining and fun at the same time, provided nothing happen to her in the process.. haha =D

My daughter did that when she was younger. She also liked to take things out of her dresser drawer. You may want to put something in the kitchen that will distract him. Try getting one of those plastic bins that you can fill with toys or other objects that are safe. Bring that in the kitcken with you when you two are there. Maybe he will take the stuff out of the bin and leave the cupboard alone. At any rate, enjoy the time. My daughter is now 17 and on her way to college this year.

I think the best way is letting him know the DO and DON'T. Once he has a clear idea of what can be done of cannot, he will behave. I don believe on child locks, I don't have any at home. My way of teaching is to make him understand, rather than hook on something to AVOID him from touching - which is not a long term solution. Of coz at the beginning you might need to let him know the DON't in a HARSH way but the good thing is he will understand and remember it forever.
