For Christmas, Liam got a new two-step step stool. He can now reach the sink to wash his hands and brush his teeth, which is very helpful. What’s not very helpful is that he can apparently also reach the medicine cabinet on the wall.
——————–
[Scene: Matt and Shannon are both in their bedroom. Liam is wandering around the house. Shannon hears an unfamiliar noise coming from the next room, a bit of a crinkling sound, but unlike any crinkling sound she’s ever heard from Liam. Matt goes to investigate.]
Matt:Â LIAM!
Matt: Liam. NO TOUCH! We don’t play in the medicine cabinet. Ever. No touch!
[Door to bathroom closes solidly.]
Shannon: What happened? (Granted, I know that this is a stupid, stupid question.)
Matt:Â In case you were wondering, Liam can open the medicine cabinet and everything inside.
Shannon:Â Awesome.

My question now is what should I do with all of the potentially harmful things that are in the medicine cabinet?
Matt has this dream of building a shelf around the entire periphery of the office for holding CDs. I’m thinking that a similar shelf for medicine may be necessary in the bathroom. I guess this is an upside to having ridiculously short ceilings–I won’t need a ladder to reach everything…
