But by the time he was a year and a half, we had come to the conclusion that the only thing that would stop him was a *locked* door. (He had learned to work doorknobs a few months before, even though he had to climb to get to them. This was not a deterrant.) And since we had some very *sharp* knives in the kitchen, among various other implements that could destroy a toddler (our herbal pharmacy was in the kitchen cabinet, for instance, and he had decided that all pills were Good Things, because he liked the taste of the garlic capsules they got when they were sick), we decided the only recourse was to Lock The Kitchen. I had the key on my person at all times, and the kitchen remained LOCKED any time I wasn't in it, until all children were old enough to be trusted not to get dangerous stuff. It still got locked at night for a long time, to forstall raiding-of-goodies. ^_^
And yes, Josiah *was* the one child I had who was the result of the curse that all parents put on their children at one time or another, "I hope you have kids *just* like you." Up until that time, I had been happy that while my kids did have almost all of my faults, they were spread out amongst the three...Josiah, however, is so almost exactly like me that we don't get along for long periods of time. I love him, I think, more than either of my other children, but I *get along* better with Grace or Calvin. I think Josiah and I are likely to have a more special bond as he gets older, though. Not least of which because so far he has exhibited the strongest Talent.
