The Escape Artist

It took him months, but John finally figured out how to circumvent the long baby gate. It is screwed into the wall only on one side because previously the other side was pinned behind a piece of furniture. The furniture broke and is gone now, but John hadn't figured out that he could just pull the gate away from the wall and sneak behind it. Here I caught him in the act.
The first time I removed him he cried. The second time, he totally lost control of his emotions and threw a tantrum like I've never seen. We have this other piece of heavy furniture sitting around needing a place, so I used it to pin the gate to the wall temporarily. It's unattractive, but effective. John is not pleased.
