So these photos of our daredevil require a story to fully understand how happy Everett was to climb the ladder. About a month ago, I was giving Everett his night-time bath and he was happily playing in the tub. Billy had to do something in Everett's closet before I put him to bed so he walked past the open bathroom door carrying the ladder. Everett saw this and tossed his bath toys like a hot potato, stood up, put one leg over the side of the tub, and screamed, "All done!". He wasn't sure what Daddy had been carrying, but he wanted in! I had to towel him off quickly and show him what Daddy was doing and he begged to touch the ladder. But it was bedtime so away it went and off he went to sleep.
Fast-forward to today. Billy took out the ladder to remove some dead lightbulbs. He remembered that the gate was upstairs so he went to get it (gone approximately 10 seconds total) and when he came back down, there was Everett - finally getting his chance to explore the ladder. He then climbed up and down it about 50 times saying, "Ladder, ladder" every time. His curiosity takes him on so many adventures!
And yes, he has a tooth brush in his mouth, too! Just climbing it wouldn't be dangerous enough, he needed a sharp object, too!
