They are getting put on all our exterior doors, the basement door, the pantry door and finally Ryan's inside knob on his bedroom door. WHY...you may ask? Well here's a little story for your enjoyment...
A little flashback ~ In the past week, Ryan learned how to finally turn the knobs to make a door open. He is quite excited about this, as any 2.5 year old would be. He's been practicing his new talent instead of taking naps and in return, we have a cranky kid on our hands which hasn't been fun.
Today ~ It's nap time and I decided to catch up on some much neglected laundry. As I was about to turn on the washer (our laundry room is on the 2nd floor of our house- yes we know how lucky we truly are!), I hear his door knob start to rattle. I quickly jump over the laundry and grab his door knob from the outside and hold it tight! Hah HA!
We play tug of war for at least a minute (he has no clue that mommy is holding the door!) and finally he gives up. And this is what I hear... "Hmmmm....it's stuck." Then he mumbles something I don't understand and I hear him climb back into bed. SUCCESS!...hope this teaches him to stay in bed and take that nap! Doubt it...but a mommy can dream, right? :)
So today's score is:
Mommy ~ 1 Ryan ~ 0

WOW! He's tricky! Good for you for locking him in :) hahah! Kidding of course.
wow - we haven't had that problem during nap times, but we did have to set some guidelines for bed time. t would get up in the middle of the night and make his way into our room and snuggle between us and we'd never wake up (thank goodness for the top-of-stairs gate)...our new rule is if he wakes up, he can only come over now if the sunshine is out.
it's been working now for several months...hopefully i didn't just jinx myself.
He's a smart little kid! That's a funny story...we have the door handles that you have to push down or lift up (Push down is easier) so we don't have the what I call the "twist" knobs and my cat has learned how to open the door!!! He jumps up and pushes it down!!!
LOL! Oh my goodness that is funny. Mommy 1 - Ryan 0. Hhahahahhaa. Oh boy can't wait to get this stage in a couple of years.
Just wait...he'll master the door knob covers too! My little guy is 3 and has been able to open w/these for a while now!!?? What am I to do now...?
