TMJ, I am cracking up at your DD and your family's responses. Love it! Sounds like she is not the first rascal in the family (we use the term rascal liberally around here, with great affection). How great that your family sees the positive in her climbing, ingenuity, problem-solving, and love of music. What an encouraging environment she has.
Good luck to you, keeping her in one piece!
I definitely remember feeling I was going to have to suspend everything from the ceiling to keep it out of DD's reach.
We have other issues now that she's 28 mos. This week, as I was getting DD ready for bed, I (ahem) sat down for a moment myself in the bathroom. The house was totally locked up but as I sat there I suddenly heard DD outside in the back yard. She had apparently followed the cat into the kitchen, tried to get him to eat his food, he slipped out the cat door, and she did, too, carrying his bowl and following him to the back end of our yard in the pitch dark. We're talking two minutes for all this.
I can almost never let this climber/explorer out of my sight.
