Sitting here, talking to a friend on Facebook and I look up and my kid is on the fireplace hearth. I sat there for a second in shock and then blurted out, what the heck?!? I ran over and put her back down on safe ground, she threw a fit and I walked away. She climbed back up there, so I did the same thing and she reacted the same way. I ran to get the camera and started recording because I knew she was going to go for it again.
Ok so here is the thing, my kid (like almost all other kids, I’m sure) loooves remote controls. She has a fake one (the black one seen at the beginning of the video) that her Grandpa gave her but somehow in her genius baby mind she KNOWS it isn’t the real deal. Therefore, she could care less about it. Now, I keep all of our remotes in the little basket on top of the stereo speaker so that they are all in one place and are not getting lost every day (related: DON’T YOU HATE THAT THERE IS FIFTEEN BAJILLION REMOTES?!?! IT DRIVES ME NUTS!!). I can’t help but think that when she stumbled upon this basket once she topped Fireplace Hearth Mountain, she MUST have felt like she had found the Holy Grail.
I moved the basket and she hasn’t gone back up there… Yet.
My kid can really climb. Someone please hold me.

Oh man, she’s so cute. You’re in trouble. They can have a room full of toys and of course they want the one thing they’re not supposed to have.

Haha… oh dear. I remember when we had to stop putting the remotes in the arm of the couch because Andrew could finally reach them. He still doesn’t have a very easy time getting on the couch though – I am lucky to not have a climber!

Your daughter is adorable. The cutest thing to me was how she kept looking back at you like she knew she was being filmed and because she knew she wasn’t supposed to play on the hearth.
