Let Me Out!

With Cassandra now climbing the stairs and thinking "no" means "smile, turn around and do it anyway" it became necessary to put up the baby gates.  I think she likes to make noise, not necessarily trying to escape.  She likes to go up to the gate, grab it and shake it.  That being said, she does spend time trying to defeat the gate but it seems like it doesn't occur to her to use brute force.

Notice how she messes with the hinge in an effort to get through?  I think she is leaning towards being an engineer.
