Parenting Lesson #458


When you hear your toddler on the monitor cracking up laughing in his crib….alone…when he should be sleeping – take action!!

Last night, about an hour after Luke went to bed I heard him in the monitor laughing so hard for about 2 or 3 minutes. I thought what in the world could be so funny. He talks a lot while he is going to sleep, throws things out of his crib, drinks from his sippy but laughing…that was a first. We, mistakenly, forgot about it and went to bed. Poor Jay went into Luke’s room this morning to find a pantless, diaperless Luke standing in his crib smiling ear to ear. Diaper thrown to one side of the room, pants to the other. Yes, Luke spent the night “free as a bird”. We can only imagine, he must have been so thrilled with himself seeing his favorite activity is running around after bath time naked. Needless to say we had quite a bit of laundry this morning and duck taped his diaper on tonight…he he!!!
