Jack Proofing the House

We have to turn over all the chairs because Jack can climb up on them. I caught him on the kitchen table yesterday splashing in some old milk that was left there.
I had to duct tape the fire place because Jack figured out how to open it. He will get in there and play in the ashes and then rub them all over his face.
If I want to take a shower I have to barricade the door. Jack can now open the toilet lids and will swish around in them any chance he gets.
Jack was mad that I blocked the bathroom so he got under the bed and ripped up the wrapping paper. He's kind of like a naughty cat.
This kid makes me tired. Don't get me wrong...... I love him so much but....... he makes me tired. He gets into everything and he is relentless. If you stop him from doing something he will just keep going back, over and over and over. Or he will move on to something else he isn't supposed to do and do that over and over. I think he has some kind of sixth sense when it comes to his favorite things: he knows if one of the other kids left the bathroom door open and will immediately sneak off. I'll say, "Where's Jack?" and sure enough he's in the bathroom having a great time in the toilet. Gross. Or if someone gets out of their chair at the table for one second, guess who's right there climbing up? He definitely is persistent and knows what he wants and I guess those are actually good things.

Haha, that was funny. We probably better not let Jack and Tate get together, there would be too much trouble making. Good think he's cute!!

I know a family that tied their chairs to the table so their youngest couldn't get to them to climb.

Heh. I have to laugh, cause it sounds like twinproofing. And I can laugh, because when my boys were 10 months old, I caught them splashing in the potty. The first thing they did when they saw me was to point at each other. Social skills like blaming one's brother develop so early in twins :/
