Must. Climb. On. Everything.

Cannon has a serious need for climbing. Always has. It was even hard for him to sit still when he was a baby. We couldn't keep him down. And now I am so sick of pulling him off of things that, after some careful consideration and some 'research', I've decided to let him. I read somewhere that if you don't let a climber climb, they will just keep searching and keep climbing on things (and the 'thing' tends to get higher and higher). So if you let a climber climb and they fall, they will learn. I am not sure Cannon is learning.... But since he is definitely falling, we will see.


And of course we dont let him climb on the high chair anymore like he is straight out of Cliffhanger. We move that into the garage after each use. We dont want him to crack his head on the travertine.


And we fold the strollers down when they arent in use. We dont want him to crack his head on the concrete garage floor.



But otherwise, for the most part, I have given up, and I let him climb. Prior to this new thinking, I was honestly spending most of my day pulling him off of the couch, off the side of the stairs, off the high chair. It was driving me crazy. I was consumed.


I cannot child proof any more than we already have, so now, climb away Cannon.
