Last Night’s Humor in the Bathroom

So last week Seporah learned how to climb in and out of not only her crib, but also Felicity’s. We switched Seporah’s crib to a toddler bed because I didn’t want her falling and breaking a limb. We couldn’t replace Felicity crib with a toddler bed so we’ve currently been trying to teach that Felicity’s crib is not a place to climb and she gets in trouble for doing it, I’m more than little worried about her climbing in and suffocating Felicity on accident. Yeah, I know I’m kind of a worry wort, you would be too, if you worked in a pediatric ward. The way children learn to hurt themselves and their siblings is amazing. I laugh sometimes (remember easier to laugh than to cry), but if it were my own I would seriously cry.

Great right, except for now I can no longer contain my wild child for bedtime, I could just shut the door except for 2 problems. One, Seporah has locked herself inside of her bedroom twice, so I just took off her doorknob so that wouldn’t happen. It doesn’t now, but it also means I can’t contain her just by closing the door. Two, if I did put the doorknob back on and shut the door, I wouldn’t be able to hear Felicity, which actually does sound nice in a way, but I know when I’ve shut the door on accident, I’ve woken up to a starving baby who’s obviously been screaming for a very long time. My solution, place a gate in the doorway so Seporah can get up from her toddler bed and play in her room if she so desires.

Last night, we put the girls to bed and went to bed about 30 seconds after that (we have yet to really get over complete exhaustion, you’d think by this point we’d at least be used to it, but whatever). Apparently Seporah didn’t fall right to sleep. My guess of what happened was she knocked down the gate, played all over the house, went into the bathroom, tore it to pieces, tried to get out, but had shut the door, banged on the door for someone to get her out, realized no one was coming (because mommy and daddy were VERY fast asleep), tore up the bathroom some more, found a towel to use as a blanket and went to sleep. I figured this out a couple of hours later when Felicity woke me up to feed her.
