You can make a public properties in your MDI Form for your buttons (1 & 2) in order to manipulate the disable/enable property of it, so when you load your form1 it should be like this or something:

        Frmparent parnt;
        private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            parnt = (Frmparent)MdiParent;
            parnt.Btn1.Enabled = false;
        }

so when you closed your form1 in the closed event you can easily set "parnt.Btn1.Enabled = true;

hope that helps.
