How Do I Childproof This?

My 10 month old son has learned how to turn on the water in the bathtub. We have a large knob that you pull out and turn either to the left for the hot water or the right for the cold water. My son is fascinated with this and the whole time he's in the bathtub I'm constantly pulling him away from the knob and sitting him back down on the other side of the tub.

Childproofing Cabinets - Recommendations Please

I'm looking for a recommendation in childproofing our cabinets and drawers. A friend highly recommended TOT LOCKS but it involves drilling deep into cabinets and their costly.

Childproofing Electrical Outlets in Use?

Is there some sort of childproofing device available I have not come across? TIA!
