Child Proofing

Last night, Will went to bed downstairs, in his room, at about 8:00. I checked on him before I went to bed and he was sleeping peacefully. RJ was having a hard time sleeping, and finally went upstairs to try to sleep up there at about 2:00 AM.

He walked up the stairs-no lights were on...it was pitch black. He got to the top of the stairs, unlatched the baby/pet gate....and heard, "Hi, Dada!"....there was Will, just sitting in the recliner, in the dark! (Ha, can you imagine RJ's face right now, and how high he probably jumped, ha!)

He asked Will what he was doing and was about to pick him up, as he heard Dizzy scratching at the door. He said, "Will, did you let Dizzy out?!" "Yeah, Dada!"

Will got out of his room (he's only opened that door once before), walked up the totally dark stairs, opened the OUTSIDE door (!!!) to let the dog out, and settled into the recliner....for who knows how long! Of course I was freaked out that he could have opened the front door...or gone out the back door with Dizzy....yikes!

So, tonight, Grandpa and Grandma came home with a child proof doorknob cover!

  4. Worst nightmare! That is why Charlie still sleeps in his crib- he hasn't tried to climb out yet and even though he's so big in there, I just don't want to deal with a mobile, wandering child at night!
