Our Worst Nightmare!

Ok, so maybe it isn't our absolute worst nightmare but it is sure up there towards the top of the list. Our sweet innocent baby girl (yeah right) has mastered climbing out of her crib! She isn't even a year and a half yet? I am pretty sure this isn't supposed to be happening. What happened was I put Emma down for her nap and she slept the usual 2 to 3 hours, so I decided to go and get her out of her crib and to my astonishment she had already done so herself! I couldn't believe what I was seeing! Dylan was highly impressed as he praised Emma telling her,"Emma you are so smart!" and then he looks at me and says, "Mommy Emma is such a smart girl...like me!". I then asked him, "So you're a girl now huh?". His reply, "No, I am not a girl! I am a boy and I am awesome!". After we got that all cleared up I called Dave to tell him what we were in for and he asked me, "Well are you sure you even put her in the crib in the first place?". Wow! He must really think I am crazy! Of course I put her in her crib for her nap! So we go about the rest of our day and nap #2 rolls around. I put Emma in her crib, shut the door and go down stairs to watch TV with Dylan. And after about a half hour I hear drawers slamming shut, squeals of delight, and little feet stomping. Sure enough she did it again! But this time she managed to destroy her whole room, emptying every drawer. I am not sure how to deal with this one. Dylan never once tried to climb out of his crib and he was a little over two years old when we switched him to a big boy bed. I guess the only positive thing I can think of from all of this is...at least she can't open the door...yet!

Guess who is potty trained???

This guy!!!

And it was so easy too! I think the key is to just wait until they are ready and then they pretty much do it on their own. At least that is how it worked out for us. For a while there we thought Dylan would be in diapers forever but he sure proved us wrong. He is doing so awesome, even at night. We are very proud of him!

{for the record, I did not dress my kid like this. He did it all on his own. As you can see, his boots are on the wrong feet. He is too silly}
