P.P.S.
You really should assert more control on your children.

Admittedly off topic, but I should not just let this comment be. All children are different, even if (or especially if) they are siblings. Parents often forget this. So after having two well behaved two year olds in succession (well behaved being confined to "two year olds who do not jam things into the orifices of consumer electronic goods"), the third two year old came as a rude shock.
Two year olds resemble terrorists for the simple reason that they only have to be lucky, once, to accomplish their mischevious goal, but parents must stop them each and every time to prevent it. For the most part, I will consider parenting a success if I can laugh at my granchildren doing the exact same things to their parents (unfortunately, this will be a long, long wait), and I have reconciled myself to not having any nice things that I cannot store at, or above, shoulder height.
Q: Why are children so cute?
A: So parents do not kill them.
That joke divides all people into two groups: those that find it offensive, and parents.
