My little Monkey

This girl can climb anything and everything. In the last two weeks I've had to remove from her room: 2 boxes of diapers, her lion cart, the ottoman to the rocking chair, and her bag of crib bedding. Why? Because she uses them as a stool to climb up into Oakley's crib and places in the closet to get into things she shouldn't and to climb over the back of the rocking chair and come down it from the top like a slide!

So, I thought she was out of options until I went in and found she had pulled the dresser drawers out in the fashion of a set of stairs and used it to access the top of the dresser. Thankfully the dresser didn't break or tip over and the only damage caused was a bunch of wipes pulled out of their case and then put back in disarray. We are definitely going to have to anchor the dresser to the wall now, but seriously, what else can I do? I can't move the dresser out of their room....

She also scoots table chairs and a stool around downstairs to get what she wants off of counters, out of the pantry and in other out-of-reach places. This morning I walked into the kitchen to find she'd dragged a chair to the counter, climbed on up to reach the fruit basket which was on a shelf above the counter, and had taken a bite out of one pear, one apple and peeled and half ate a banana.

Such a monkey!!!
