We have been trying to make the transition from crib to toddler bed with Eli. To say it nicely, it hasn't been going well. He discovered that he rather enjoys the game of getting up, opening the door, and peeking out to see what is going on in the rest of the house. This happens on average between 15 and 20 times a night, and usually lasts over an hour (one night it lasted two hours). So, we decided to put him back in the crib. Low and behold Eli figured out how to climb out of the crib so he could continue his game. The game is getting old quickly!
Well, at one of our play dates I was complaining about Eli's game when another mother said, "Just turn his door knob so the lock is on the outside." Cruel you say...GENIUS I say!! Why didn't I think of that?!? Monday afternoon I changed his door knob. That night we put him to bed and locked the door from the outside. After a few moments you could hear him struggling to open the door. I let him fight with it for about 10 minutes, then went in there and put him back to bed. I have heard from him after bedtime since!!! FINALLY, we can take down the crib. Thank you Tiffany!!
