Punch has this hobby of doing the dishes...initially she used the to drag the dining chair to the kitchen sink and start off her work with opening the tap..To stop this, I put away all the dining chairs in a room and locked the room. Next, she pushed her rocker all the way from the hall to the kitchen and I replied by putting away the rocker too in the room.
Our hall now has just the sofa and showcase (almost empty again), the small stool also being put away lest it serve as a handy tool for her. Whenever we open the room door, she manages to squeeze in from nowhere to pick up her rocker/cycle/chair to use it to play in the sink. Then she started using a small 15-20 cm toy chair to stand up to be able to reach the tap. Next was her father's lunch bag followed by a plastic cover! Next was the dustbin. I forgot to mention that the same items are alternatively used to attack the washing machine too.
Yesterday was the height of all mischiefs.. we both were in the kitchen and she was as usual pulling out things from the drawers and I was cooking. For a moment I did not look at her and then what did i see? She had opened the small wood cupboard below the sink, used its partition to stand and then sat on the door like how a bike rider sits.. it was hilarious as well as dangerous and she even posed for pictures..another poor victim was the chota 1.5 litre pressure cooker which was put upside down to serve as a stool for her..I just do not know how to stop her..any ideas are welcome.

Try not to stop her, instead you can give her a stool and instruct her to open the tap only under your supervision, that way she will not waste water or get wet (and then sick)....my 2 cents
LOL, quite a bright child. The only thing u can do is to cook when she is sleeping and when she is awake , just be with her.
Rad does the same and Na did the same when she was little. I guess they get a kick out of climbing! No ideas on stopping them, but I will check this page out again to see if I can borrow some :)
God! I just hope she plays safe ;)
What if she stops all this and we get nothing to read :P
Pics pls ;)
pics plz and I can so so relate to the "squeezing in from nowhere"hhehe
let her play of course safely for few days then hope she might get bored with it and switch to some other timepass stuff...
Just let her do the dishes for a few days :-) Requires patience, but she will become bored in a few days !
@all..punch enters the kitchen randomly mood me aake..even when i am not in the kitchen! major drawback is that our kitchen has no door...
