How do i keep my toddler from climbing the oven/stove?
Jovie puts her feet on top of the drawer on the bottom and uses the bar to pull herself up. She can reach almost all the way back to the back burners. I am almost scared to cook without another adult in the house because what if I turn my head for a second and next thing I know she is grabbing a hot burner? Luckily the times I have seen her climb it so far all burners have been off, but I am terrified! She climbs EVERYTHING!!! Yesterday I walked out of the kitchen and came back to her standing in the middle of my kitchen table!

Aubrey is a climber too! I don't have one yet but you could get something like this: http://www.onestepahead.com/catalog/product.jsp?productId=29&parentCategoryId=85183&categoryId=85216&subCategoryId=86200
Right now we just have an oven door lock so she can't pull open the door but I am worried about the burner thing too..
My stove unit is a double oven, so instead of a bottom drawer, I have a small oven on top, with the big oven on bottom, so no one can "climb" like yours. But we have a stepstool DS1 loves to move over to see stuff on the stovetop. We "let" him put his fingers on a cooling burner (we have a ceramic flatop, so it didn't look hot), and he got his fingers a bit warm. This was very controlled, I PROMISE! He cried, but his fingers were fine, no one was at risk. But it made a good point, as he liked to try to lean on, and over the burners to see stuff. Now he's much better about staying off the stovetop, because you just never know when it's on.
Some things they have to learn the (sorta) hard way. Otherwise, the thing littlebug said is what one of my SIL's had to prevent kids from reaching up.
