For the Love of Spoons

Callum has a deep and abiding love for spoons, especially measuring spoons.  One of his favorite things to do is to crawl into the kitchen and open the measuring spoon drawer (which I intentionally put on the bottom so that he won't get into anything that he could be hurt by or break).  Once it's open...watch out....because he is about to create a scene of chaos and mass destruction!  (Something very similar also happens with the tupperware cabinet.)  Even more than banging and throwing measuring spoons (and measuring cups), he loves to suck on them.  He wants to put them in his mouth and crawl all over the apartment carrying them that way.  Sometimes he sneaks in there and gets away with it, but usually we take them away so he can't fall and choke on them.  It's a good thing that his Great-Auntie Muriel gave him some finger puppets....one of which is a spoon with a mustache.  He seems to have decided that this is an acceptable, though not ideal, alternative.  :)
