    One of my boys pulled down the next record I had queued up yesterday whilst I was vacuuming. It was in it's paper protective sleeve and he tore that and it was out on the floor.

    I know he wanted to be involved because I had records on but they need to know there are some things you don't touch and let parents handle.

    I know he doesn't mean to be bad but it always feels like it's the same kid getting into these things

      I collect fidget toys for stimming and have a custom 3D printing "joystick with roller ball" thing. I keep them all in a tray on my computer desk and there is a rule that no one is allowed near my computer. But I got home from doing something a few weeks ago and my partner was snoozing on the couch and I noticed some stuff on my desk was moved and immediately noticed that toy was missing. No one knows what happened to it. My oldest was showing my youngest my fidget, even though he knows he's not supposed to touch them without my permission, and we think my youngest took off with it.

      I hope the vinyl is ok. Can you get another sleeve for it?

        Fortunately it wasn't damaged and I have some rice paper sleeves I was saving for my favourite albums, but I can always get more and this is kind of a collector's item so it's worth having one of the good sleeves

          Ah I hear twins can be crafty. We're going through that with our youngest but with ornaments on our tree. We underestimated his curiosity, which we shouldn't have lol. Nothing some super glue can't fix.

            I got my boys into batman so we need to make sure they don't pull this batman ornament off our tree.

            I recently picked up this batmobile ornament as well and one boy just threw it and broke off a fin because he wanted the matchbox car I got at the same time
