My son keeps crawling after my guitar, he is 1. So I bought him a Ukelele to bash up and keep him away from my Ibanez 6.

Anyone know how they are meant to be tuned?. Not that he will notice.

I guess I could even tune it to an open chord if I thought about it hard enough.

Low to high (most often) G C A E. (There are others... DGBE, ADF#B, etc, but GCAE is considered "standard".)
Un-plugged is not the same as
never-was-plugged-in-to-begin-with.

Have fun, ukes are a blast to play. Especially if you have a guitar to go along with it.
