Jack's new thing....opening his dresser drawers and pulling out his clothes and running around the house and leaving them all over.

I admit, it's kinda cute when he puts his shorts on his head and dances around. But I'm so tired of picking all of his clean clothes up off the floor.

I had to clear his changing table shelves because he was getting into them. Am I going to have to clear out his dresser now too?
Why even buy baby furniture if we can't use it?

Ahhhh...yes. The fashion show of freshly laundered and folded clothes paraded before you and tossed casually about. Campbell is famous for that. Especially when it comes to her blankets.
I've gotten to the point where I have to hide them from her and only let her have one out at a time.
I just tell myself that it's all preperation for when they are teenagers and never clean their rooms.

Ronald does the same thing except it is with daddy's socks and underwear most of the time. I try and work with him to not do it and just think he CAN only play with (the things that I let him have that aren't dangerous) a few things, so I just ask him to put them back then to shut the drawer. OK, I can only ask him to do that when I have the time to LOL, but about half the time he will do it. However, I am getting tired of saying put that back and shut the drawer/door. so hopefully this phase will end soon!

One of our friends put some sort of child proof latch on all their dresser drawers. I'm not sure exactly how it works, but it seems like it would make it sort of a pain for the parent and they look sort of odd... but I guess if you get really frustrated something like that might be worth a try.

make sure you have the dressers achored to the walls so they don't tip over.
