Baby Proofing Fail

At least once a week, Eliza does some sort of dangerous or destructive something to make us alter the environment.  One week, it was using the middle drawer in the bathroom as a ladder to get up on the counter and flood the bathroom.  The next, it was moving the bar stools to gain access to the kitchen counter to dig around in my purse and eat all of my sour Ice Breakers...I could go on and on!

Starting several months ago, every time we went outside she ran right over to the playscape and immediately climbed the ladder.  That meant we had to also climb up to keep her from falling off.  So, we had to figure out some way to keep Eliza from climbing to the top.  Mike found some old 2x4's in the garage and tied them to the ladder.  That worked for a few months.  Then I found her doing this:



No need for these anymore.  At least I feel okay with her up there now.  She has finally developed a small sense of fear and sort of knows her limits now.
