We had to get creative to prevent Naomi from pulling the baby gate down on herself.  Big human put a 20 pound dumbbell inside the hamper when she tried to push it out of her way.

Fun fact #1:  Naomi is actually lanky enough that she can put her chin on the rim of the hamper when she's not standing flat-footed.

Fun fact #2:  It has not yet occurred to her to jump over the baby gate.
