Dishwasher Drama

Joseph has learned to open the dishwasher. He then pulls out the top rack and uses it to pull himself up so he can climb on the door and act like the true monkey he is . . . that is when I am not pulling him off while he cries out heartbroken to me. It seems that he doesn't understand why I want to stop him when he is working so hard to terrorize my kitchen. He learned this new trick yesterday and about 30 times, I was able to keep him out of it. Today, however, he got away with a bit more as I was making tonight's supper. Whew! Good think we learned along time ago to keep the knives and forks out of there - they are hand-washed only these days!
