Escape artist
20 minutes after putting Ben to bed I hear a little “Hi” coming from behind the couch. I knew Jim was in the kitchen so it could only mean one thing: Ben escaped from his crib! He was so proud of himself and kept saying Hi to us. We tried 3 more times to put him to bed but he just kept showing up in the family room. We had a tent that Laura never used but it didn’t quite fit the crib so we just had to convert it to a toddler bed…I’m not ready for that…and neither is Ben. We finally got him to sleep in his toddler bed 3 hours after our first try. At 12:45 he must have fallen out and was asleep crying on the floor. That was a quick one and he went right back to sleep. At 3:45 I heard his door open and then slam. 20 minutes later I went in to check on him and he was back asleep on his bed. At 7:00 he was throwing his toys over the baby gate letting me know he was ready to get up. I’m glad the gate at least kept him in his room. So today the crib is back assembled and I figured out a way to make the tent work. He loves the tent so I hope he’ll sleep and not think that it is just playtime.
