SHIT. IT'S HAPPENED.

[Ohhmm(bligo)]

I was getting dressed this morning.  Cambria wandered over, a fistfull of sharpies and pens in one hand and Kristen's Barbie pieces in the other.  Kristen was still fast asleep.
She's learned how to get out of the crib.  Help me Tom Cruise.
Obviously, Kristen and I will be completely reorganizing their room and putting all of Kristen's little things UP and away.

I NEVER EVEN HEARD A THUMP.

[Ohhmm(bligo)]

Nope. She apparently just picked up a bunch of shit she's obsessed with and knows she's not allowed to have and then ran over to show off. Dummy.

[tdk2]

Oh shit! I'm dreading this day.

No thump is freaking me out!!!

[cuddlyevil]

LOL. I had panic attacks when DS #1 figured out how to get out. He'd do it right in front of me with a shit eating grin. So one night I was like "fuck it, you're just going to climb out anyway" and converted the crib to a toddler bed.
At least he didn't behave like his sister and come upstairs then just stand next to the bed staring at us like the girl from the movie the ring; he'd just move to the couch.

[Ohhmm(bligo)]

Kristen only did it once, screamed her head off, and never gave us a problem again. She threw a bitch fit when we finally put her in a toddler bed at FOUR YEARS OLD. SCREAMING, WAILING, "AH WAAAAAHNT MAH CRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIB" through hyperventilation.

THIS ONE IS DIFFERENT.

I think we'll just set the toddler bed up tonight while we're reorganizing. Might as well!

I'm sorry. But I am laughing at the sight. And scared b/c this will happen to me fairly soon, I am sure.

andplusalso - please uproot your family and move down my way.

[hopecounts]

Ugh. dD did that except it was the middle of the night and she'd climbed out of her crib and onto her changing table and then realized she couldn't get down so I got a 'mama help' walked in her room expecting she'd lost her stuffed animal and found that.

[ax2]

This thread gives me anxiety. Not looking forward to this day.

I wish!  H won't even more a town OVER.  You're going to have to come up here.

DD tried once, got stuck and never tried again.

DS #2 hasn't even tried yet, but I know the day will come because the snot learns everything from his older siblings.

[Ohhmm(bligo)]

Update: THE BIRD HAS LEFT THE NEST.

Kristen and I worked all night, reorganizing and cleaning and throwing away (that girl is a pack rat). At the end of the night, I was satisfied with safety, but still wanted to rearrange the furniture before I set up the toddler bed. I put her in the crib and she thwomped right back out and laughed her head off.

I set the bed up and had a long talk with her about staying in bed like a big girl or she'd have the baby crib back. Then I sat the pack n' play at the foot of her bed, very ominously. She's been all smiley and proud and has been very carefully laying in bed.

I give it a half hour, but hey.

Ombligo also got bored and shoved swaggercat under her shirt today

that cat is alone in his torment

[Ohhmm(bligo)]

It's why he's so full of apathy and ennui.
That and the toddler who thinks he is a horsie.

i really enjoy the lurking presence of the pack and play to threaten her. your psychological gamesmanship is A-1.

[snickers]

Ohh no!

It's not an option.  The force is strong in this one.

[Ohhmm(bligo)]

SHE'S STILL IN BED. SHE'S SLEEPING. WTF.


She's probably out at a rave somewhere, and that's a baby doll under the blankets.

[jacquie]

Crazy tot.

I'm lucky, in that my son just comes and screams "MOMMY!!! WAAAAKE UUUP!" in my face before destroying anything.

I'm going to zazzle Cambrias pic. Because everyone needs to see a 1yr old candy raving lunatic.

I love your storytelling.

App like.

She slept all night. While Jason was in the bathroom getting ready at 6, she tried to open the door and come in. He took her back to bed and covered her up, and she laid there smiling at him until he left. She got up again at 7 and woke Kristen up and they played until I got up.

This CAN'T last.
