Sophie had recently realized that when she goes to bed, Mommy & Daddy stay up. Having figured out how to open her door, she has been coming in & out of her room, trying to stay up herself & see what we're up to. A couple ngihts in a row, as we were retiring to bed, we found her sound asleep in the middle of the hall. We have the incriminating photos-one night she had found a sucker, and another night she couldn't resist putting on her dress-up Princess dress, & fell asleep with it! Well, after many nights (& nap times!) of herding her back to bed, taking away priveleges (incl. Kitty), messed up sleeping schedules, & numerous talks, we just decided to get a child-proof door handle. Sophie, upon seeing the new contraption that Daddy installed on her door, checked it out, then frankly stated, "Don't like it! I think should take it off!" We bursted out laughing & decided we'd made the right choice! Problem solved!
We've had to lock our kids in, and then we'll open their doors when we go to bed. Some have looked at us funny, but just taking the temptation away solves the problem-makes for great pics though!
