A Barrel of Monkey (singular form intended)

Falling over laughing Eli moment of the day: I was in the back bathroom getting ready for the visit from our Parents as Teachers parent educator, when I heard soft whining coming from the living room. I figured that Eli was just getting bored with his movie, or had lost something, and I would finish what I was doing and then go find out why he was whining. I had just checked on him, and he would be OK for another 30 seconds. I finished what I was doing, and the whining was still going. So I walked out into the living room and saw this...

And of course I had to get a picture before I could help him get out!
