Nice title eh?
Anyway, I was visiting Cassidy's blog today and had this huge comment going about enjoying baby gates while she can since when the actual Terrible 2's hit, itll be bad. Then it turned into a huge post, so im gonna keep it here instead. ^.^
Anyway, so if you have a child under 2, make use of those baby gates and cages while you can. Eventually the kids can get over them like ninjas. They can also climb walls, hide in plain sight, steal things from your pants from across the room and have the ability to locate the most breakable object in the house and promptly destroy it.
So just a few days ago, Rienna was practicing her ninja skills and decided to promptly open up the front door with absolutely no sound at all, and make a dash for the nearest parking lot and street.
We managed to catch her before she got there, but it freaked us the hell out that she managed to get out without a sound.
So now we've turned into that crazy old guy that everybody knows that lives down the street who thinks "They" are out to get him and has booby traps all over the house and lawn.
It's true, we have bells and chimes hung up on the front door as well as her room. Plus the back sliding door has pressure bars WAAAY up high to keep the doors closed.Ive even installed an extra lock on the front door with a padlock. It's insane how good she is about managing to find a way to leave the house. Im even thinking about how useful it would be if i hung a cowbell around her waist or something.
Hopefully she'll grow out of trying to kill herself, but I dont know, she may just be Evel Knievel reincarnated. Im just waiting for when she manages to get into a stroller and roll it down the stairs for fun.
oh noes! she's awake! Ive gotta spray her down with a bottle of Ninja Begone before it gets out of hand!
*ninja vanish!*
