jul,
Haha .. now Ovann is racing with me to see who reaches the pc first ... he saw me typing on the keyboard and he wants to play with it too. Same for the remote controllers. When he wants to reach for it, I'll shake my head and tell him "controllers, no no." Then he'd withdraw his hands, and try to reach for it again, but stop and muttered something, and shake his head like i did! So funny.
Anyway, most of the stuff at the living room are already sort of child proof or out of reach cos we've been trained by our dog .. hahah .. we've got a fair share of stuff chewed by our dog when she's a puppy.
Btw, i think it's pretty irresponsible for your ILs to not keep their things/childproof their home. My MIL also has this habit of keeping her door ajar, cos she wants to wait for ovann to crawl into her room. But her room has got clothes rack, hp charger at the floor and what nots. Furthermore, now that ovann is learning to walk, he's bound to use the door as support to help him stand up. He might hurt his fingers or he might fall since the door is half open.
What i do is that, if i know he's gonna crawl inside, i won't go in & pull him back. I'll just let him go in, pull watever he wants, or best, 'kiap' his fingers den MIL will learn. Well, she did when ovann almost pulled the clothes rack and play with the socket when she's charging her hp. Only then she get worried and closed the bloody damn door.
