Pincer grip

A pincer grip is that thing you do when you put your thumb and forefinger together to pick stuff up and learning to do it is an important milestone in a babies development.

AG demonstrated this to us in the bath by pulling the plug (and then trying to eat it)

No problem, I thought, as chain is already broken I'll just reduce its length so she can't get a good grip on it.

So out came the trusty cutters and I made the chain 10cm long.. she still was able to pull the plug out

So out came the trusty cutters and I made the chain 2cm long.. she still was able to pull the plug out

So out came the trusty cutters and I removed the chain completely.. she is still able to pull the plug easily.. but we can't
