Haha, apparently the first testing tool is the mouth hence the licking of the oven door. 😂 Once when I was living in a shared flat we entertained an 18 month old. He was dancing around silently - which was not a good sign, so I took a closer look. I managed to fish out a nail clipper from his mouth 😱 honestly, the thought of him swallowing it, doesn't bear imagining!

Oof! We are trying to be very careful about that, he keeps finding something.

This little boy came into a usually adult home, but I'm certain you have been Rohan proofing your home for a while now! But it is so amazing to watch how children develop with curiosity! My mother looked after my niece regularly, and Claire had the usual obsession of picking little things up, so my mother gave her letters of the alphabet (think they were soft foam, but Mum was watching) and Claire was reciting the classic "a is for apple" exercise as part of learning to speak!
