We now have a little Ms. Houdini on our hands. Yesterday while she was home with mom she learned how to climb out of her crib. I watched her climb out a second time, and she has a nice little escape routine set up. Little did we suspect she'd use it to her advantage to climb out of her crib at 2:00 am, YES 2:00 AM. So, here's her story....
She started crying just before 2:00 this morning. My usual routine is to turn off her sound monitor for about 10-15 minutes when she first starts crying and she usually puts herself back to sleep. Not this morning. Ten minutes after she let out her first cry I hear her, but the sound monitor is turned off. I quickly jump out of the bed, realizing what she has done. I didn't want her to fall down the stairs from her room to ours.
As I round the corner of our bed heading to the bedroom door, it all of a sudden slams open. All I see is the orange glow of the wood burning stove, and a little silhouette of Li'l Ms. Houdini; arms spread out far; yelling "HI!!!" at the top of her lungs, all smiles and happy. (She must have felt like such a big girl coming down the stair all by herself.)
She quickly climbed into bed with us, proceeded to thrash about till she got comfortable (feet poking in dad's back, head plopped on mom's rib cage), then finally fell back to sleep sometime after 3:00. I guess this means we have to buy a new toddler bed and figure out how to keep her in her room so she won't wonder the house in the dark. Goodness!!!!
