Monkey caught in action

I was upstairs this morning doing laundry and while I was in the hallway, monkey was in his room playing, all the while I've completely forgotten that monkey taught himself how to climb into the crib yesterday. Sure enough as I walked into his room to get his laundry there stands monkey in his crib! I happened to catch monkey in action, I tried to remain hidden from him but there was no way of hiding the camera, so that is what he is looking at in the video.

I'm so proud of him for putting two and two together the way he did to figure out how to climb into the crib.

I know typical boy behavior is to climb, I'm wondering if this much at this age is typical?

My question is this...mothers of grown sons or somewhat grown sons, should I be taking this as my sign to prepare myself for the next 10 years for a child who lives on the edge of constant danger?

Monkey has no fear!

Look at him balancing on top of the crib like he's some acrobat. I'm going to need alot of time to prepare :).

For now the chair that was used to help monkey in the action is going in mom and dad's room! Or...I'm going to have to invest in one of these.


Which before when I have seen these I've thought..."really, is it necessary to confine your child like this."

Yep, now I understand the inventor of this product is the mother of a monkey too. Brilliant!
