Ahh! Climber Alert!

My life is over.  At least for a few months til Isla decides that climbing isn't the coolest new thing on the planet- that she needs to try everywhere- all the time!!!  I'm not sure if I was expecting a girl to be different or just hoping- but she's not.  And she's discovered how to pull herself up on to everything... and so she does.
Chairs- leading to the computer desk...
And all the lovely books and papers and drawers to explore.
Wagon to toy to box to...
... well give her a week and you know where she'll be going next.
Chair to table and then there's all that unfinished food to enjoy.
And stairs to a bed.
This is actually a hilarious process to watch if you're not cringing that she might fall and crack open her head.  She climbs the first 2 steps by hanging on to the bars at the top and pulling herself up.  Then she turns herself around backwards and uses those bars to angle her way up - backwards.
Then she plays king of the mountain.
And then climbs over the railing.
And then crawls over to the railing....
And tries to climb off backwards... into empty space.  And this is why I'll be getting nothing done for the next few months while I follow this child around and clean up the messes she'd made while "exploring" and saving her from killing herself by explore the dropoffs in our home.
