Baby To Be: Can I cook?!

Can I cook?!

We started reaching the cooking range knobs and are trying to turn them around (by both of them). I hadn't anticipated this for the next couple of months. But here we are - we will be installing the covers for those knobs today! I wonder how long they will last! I have heard they melt away pretty easily (with the heat from the oven) or if not that, I am sure some day they will crack the code!
