Bar the door!

Maybe that will hold her. Unfortunately, the door knob doesn't seem to cut it anymore. The doors here (the ones that don't slide, at least) have french handles. Ryanne no longer finds those challenging. They are merely the mundane inconvenience that prevents her from running helter skelter throughout the house. She can j*u*s*t reach if she stands on her tippy tippy toes. At that point, leverage is in her favor and as she falls down and backwards, the door pops open. *sigh*

Unfortunately, ALL of our doors have this type of handle, including the front door. This means we have to be better about locking it so she can't completely escape. I intend to look at devices to assist in babyproofing when we're in the US.

Oh, and you want a fit...hold the door shut. Guaranteed on the floor, tears in the eyes, screaming tantrum. Fun...really.

Sounds like glass-of-water-in-the-face time or gammaree can bring a water gun with her for Xmas visit for your return trip. Oh, she's going to be engineer-material for sure!!!
