Have you ever wondered if there could be a perfect trash can? I’ve been thinking on this a lot lately. No…I’m not obsessed with trash cans. But once again I find myself trying to come up with something that won’t be penetrated by my very clever 4 year old.
At first I had to buy a new trash can because Luke had learned to lift the lid of our old one. So we replaced the old one with a new trash can that has a button on the top that then releases the lid. Well this worked for about a year, then Luke figured out how to push the button on top so that the lid would release. So then I tried turning the trash can around so he couldn’t reach the button. That has worked until this last week when Luke decided that turning around the trash can wouldn’t stop him!
Luke has learned to simply turn the trash can around and then press the button in order to open the lid. Then he quickly throws a toy or his juice into the can and then shuts the lid quickly. Amazingly he doesn’t this very quick, so quick that it took me a couple time to figure out that I didn’t leave the lid open myself.
Silly guy! So now I am trying to think of some way around this new predicament. My husband says to simply put duct tape over the lid and side….maybe we’ll try that. A quick fix…for now.
