Toddlers and Buttons

Having a toddler running around the house truly is a wonderful experience.  There are so many opportunities on a daily basis to experience the world through his eyes and experience what he sees.  Most of the time its the joy and wonder of hearing an airplane fly overhead and watching his eyes widen as he listens carefully and then makes the sign for airplane.  Or realizing the ease of pulling the gate at the bottom of the steps needs felt added to the bottom to prevent the scratching sound on the floor.

This evenings experience wasn't new.  Isaac has been doing this for awhile but lately it's becoming more and more frequent and I hit a breaking point.  It's a plea to the makers of appliances.  Why in the world is the "lock" button at the bottom of the panel and reachable by toddlers!

There's nothing like going to the refrigerator with a glass and pressing the panel for water only for nothing to happen and discover the lock is on.  Or to open the doors when loading the refrigerator with groceries and the alarm sounds to indicate the doors have been opened too long.  Isaac has reset the indicator on when the filter needs to be changed, changed the temperature of the refrigerator and freezer compartments, turned the lights on and off, changed the alarm settings and lock settings.

The problem.....he presses buttons until he's satisfied his button pressing urge.  I, on the other hand, then have to figure out how to reprogram everything or wait until Frazer come's home to reset everything. Oh, how I love having the fridge reprogrammed!
