Reasoning With A Toddler

Baby Boy is a serious climber.  Not a casual, social climber that only does it occasionally for fun and giggles - a hardcore, dedicated, practice every day and push the boundaries...climber.

Every day I keep one eye peeled for an airborne toddler.

Today I found him moving Baby Girl's toy basket, flipping it upside down, and using it to try and scale the fireplace.  After many 'no's and 'get down's, I finally explained to him that basket was not very strong and I didn't want him to fall and get hurt.  He said 'OH!'  and immediately got down and started moving the basket away.

I walked away, proud that reasoning with him was successful. 

Five minutes later, I walked back to find this...

Apparently this basket is stronger, so everything is ok.
