Toddlers and trash?

Yes! Atleast in my house it is! I had to hide my trash container because my oldest would not stop throwing everyone's SHOES away! My youngest is 15 months old and I have to keep him out of the kitchen with a gate, but when the gate is moved for a nano-second he is in there digging around! The worst was when we were doing pumpkins and I moved the gate so that I could take the knives into the kitchen, sure enough I turn around and I have pumpkin guts all over my kitchen floor because my baby boy was playing in the trash...YUCK!

yeah....mine did it too.

the oldest would toss small things - easily lost small things that sink to the bottom of the garbage can.

middle would toss random papers - but she crumpled them into teeny tiny balls first.

youngest throws anything that looks like garbage away...even daddy's wallet the day he forgot it at home.

unfortunately it stops....can't get them near a garbage now.

How cute, mommies littel helper! You might want to get a trash can with a self-closing lid though, when DS was 2 he was fascinated with the trash, reached in and cut his hand very bad on a tuna can, plus everytime he got in it, I had to stop and wash his hands etc,,, good news or bad news, can't get him to throw away a darn thing now-LOL

get her a basket ball net

Yes, just be sure to check carefully that she isn't throwing important things away. I still feel bad because when I was helping at someone's house I saw their 1 or 2 year old son throw a shoe away. I didn't want to dig through their garbage so I figured I'd just tell them when I saw them, and I forgot! I wonder how long they looked for that shoe. This was my pastor's family and I guess their son had a real problem with throwing all kinds of things away because during a sermon one time the pastor talked about how they had dug through bags and bags of disgusting rotting garbage that week because their son had thrown the checkbook or a wallet and some other important things away. They are a large family with 6 kids, so they had a lot of garbage to dig through.

yeah mine love too as well.

I don't like taking him to mcdonalds to play because all he does is pick up trash..yuck!

My DD is 23 months old and is the same way! LOL. Only now we have started taking things out of the trash! Gross.

My 17 month old likes throwing away trash too. It's pretty cute!! She will sometimes rummage thru it as well.
