Spider Monkey Strikes Again

Those of you who are my 'friend' on Facebook may have noticed my recent status update about my need to call Poison Control.

During Preston's nap earlier this week, he polished off a bottle of Children's Motrin that was sitting on his dresser. I was unaware he could reach the top of his dresser so I thought the Motrin was safe there. (I also falsely assumed that the lid was screwed tightly on the bottle.) The Motrin had been sitting there since the night he cut his lip open, as he would often wake up in the middle of the night in pain. Luckily the bottle was nearly empty.

Yesterday after his nap I turned off his CD. He was mad at me for doing it (because he is a do-it-myself kind of two-year-old.) He quickly scaled the dresser to turn the CD player back on so he could turn it off himself.

It was at that moment I realized how he managed to get the Motrin. I made him do it again to show Daddy (and for me to video).

(excuse the fact that this video is turned sideways. I'm not running on all cylinders this week.)

Immediately after filming this video I moved the small dresser to a new location in the room. Preston was furious at me.
