Lately, my 3-year-old has discovered that the laundry basket is basically a trampoline - and not just for a quick hop. We're talking full-on climbing, jumping, and sometimes launching themselves into the clothes like it's an extreme sport. I've tried moving the basket to higher shelves, swapping it for a sturdier bin, and even explaining (with plenty of patience) that laundry baskets aren’t for climbing. None of it sticks. The problem is, it’s turning laundry time into a chaotic mess, and honestly, I’m worried they might get hurt if I don't fix this soon. I want to find a way to keep the laundry area safe and the basket intact without turning it into an off-limits forbidden zone that just makes my kiddo more curious. Has anyone dealt with a tiny adventurer who treats household items like jungle gyms? What creative solutions worked for you to redirect that energy while keeping things practical? Should I just embrace the chaos and start looking for a laundry basket with more padding?
