Those are the bathrooms, and from the kitchen and yard areas. It\u2019s easy to close the bathroom door, but the kitchen is an entirely different matter since Ling spends lots of time in it preparing Hannah\u2019s meals. We used to be able to get Hannah to wait outside at the kitchen doorway quietly \u2013 learned behavior by telling her firmly each time she tried to tip toe past the kitchen door frame. Here\u2019re a couple of pictures to show what we mean:<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px\" title=\"blog-2010-hannah-OLYP3085-kitchen\" border=\"0\" alt=\"blog-2010-hannah-OLYP3085-kitchen\" src=\"https:\/\/www.chekyang.com\/musings\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/09\/blog2010hannahOLYP3085kitchen.jpg\" width=\"550\" height=\"367\" \/>&#160;<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px\" title=\"blog-2010-hannah-OLYP3074-kitchen\" border=\"0\" alt=\"blog-2010-hannah-OLYP3074-kitchen\" src=\"https:\/\/www.chekyang.com\/musings\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/09\/blog2010hannahOLYP3074kitchen.jpg\" width=\"550\" height=\"367\" \/>&#160; <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px\" title=\"blog-2010-hannah-OLYP3096-kitchen\" border=\"0\" alt=\"blog-2010-hannah-OLYP3096-kitchen\" src=\"https:\/\/www.chekyang.com\/musings\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/09\/blog2010hannahOLYP3096kitchen.jpg\" width=\"550\" height=\"367\" \/> <\/p>\n<p>She\u2019d normally just stand at the doorway and watch us do our thing. But this was last week.<\/p>\n<p>Things changed a few days ago. She\u2019s gotten bolder, and will come into the kitchen, and despite Mommy\u2019s stern instructions, proceed to investigate every nook and cranny in the kitchen. Ling got pretty exasperated, so over the weekend we went about looking for a baby gate \u2013 the sort of portable device that you can mount onto a door frame to stop infants and young children from entering into danger areas. We found a suitable device at Kiddy\u2019s Palace @ Compass Point yesterday. Here\u2019s what the kitchen looks like now:<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px\" title=\"blog-2010-hannah-OLYP3368-kitchen-gate\" border=\"0\" alt=\"blog-2010-hannah-OLYP3368-kitchen-gate\" src=\"https:\/\/www.chekyang.com\/musings\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/09\/blog2010hannahOLYP3368kitchengate.jpg\" width=\"550\" height=\"367\" \/> <\/p>\n<p>Despite what the picture might suggest, Hannah seems to be taking it quite well \u2013 relatively speaking.
