We have a nice-sized walk-in closet in our living room.* A few weeks ago, I set to trying to organize some of Bub's toys in there--things like puzzles, bean bags, paints, play doh, and anything else that has lots of pieces or a high mess factor. The organization is still in process, but a problem presented itself a few days ago. Once Bub realized a lot of the "good stuff" was in the closet, he began going in there and, because he can't reach the closet light and can't reach the shelves housing a lot of the good stuff, he began making even more messes and risking injuring by trying to climb and reach. Plus, he inadvertently unplugged the television and Dish Network box twice.** Unacceptable.
Thursday, I walked to the hardware store and purchased a door knob that locked.
Today, the hubby installed the new door knob so that the closet can be locked from the inside. The key is just one of those little stick things and it is above the door frame, though Bub thinks it is in my tummy because he asked Daddy where the key was and heard, "Mommy ate it."
All of this is just to say that I plan to make better "use" of this closet now that whatever organization I do in there will actually be protected.

**yes, these are plugged into our closet, don't ask

I wish I had a walk in closet anywhere, even in the living room.
Ditto CaraBee.
Although if we did have a walk-in closet, we'd likely give it up so that Acey would have a bedroom with a door.
