somebody stop him (or at least teach me how)

I may have mentioned burke's incredible propensity toward dangerous, gross and fragile objects... It's amazing to watch really. He's totally uninterested in everything on the table unless there's a knife. Or something hot enough to burn his little fingers. He can find sharp or germ-y objects in an immaculate house (not mine... thanks to Dear Sweet One, my house won't be in the immaculate category for years now, I'm sure). He loves the toilet brush (ewww!), a whole variety of household cleaners (any that would warrent a call to poison control if ingested, really... if they aren't in that category, he's not interested), knives and other sharp utencils, items retrieved from the trash can (gross! and dangerous!), powertools and a wide range of breakable electronic devices (the camera and Adam's computer top his list here).

This being said, I regularly walk into a room to find my little punkin eating, err... playing with, something he shouldn't have. Ever. So what does a competent mama like myself do when she finds her barely-one year old IN the dishwasher or swirling the toilet water? Grabs her camera, of course.

Since this doesn't seem to be a passing fad, if y'all have any tips for keeping both Burke and our house simultaneously safe from danger, it'd be great if you passed them along.
