Well, I didn’t do the duct tape idea. Instead I tried to think of a way I could still easily use the garbage can, yet keep it out of Luke’s way. So I looked around our kitchen, and our cabinets are too small to put a garbage can under the sink, like I know many people do. It took me a while but I realized we had the perfect spot, on the small landing that is located at the top of the stairs to our basement. The landing is basically part of the kitchen area, so it isn’t too far out of the way and we don’t have to keep our garbage outside…which this time of year would be just too cold, even in the garage.
So I put our garbage can on the small landing, only the second day I did this Luke decided to reach over the gate, located at the top of the stairs which leads to the landing, and pushed the lid open! I couldn’t believe it! So now the garbage can is on the landing but over just enough and at just the right angle that I hope will work.
I forgot until writing this today that I caught Luke on video opening the garbage can and putting his toys in, so I’ll share that with you today. He is so organized about it, that I can’t help but laugh.
