Look who...

...FINALLY learned how to open doors! Yes, he is almost three, and the kind of kid Indie is you'd think he would have been ones of those that would have figured it out by the time he was 18 months or so. But I count it a small blessing with him that it took this long.
 Of course he figured it out at bed time. And that was the end of that. We spent a good 20 minutes laying him back down before I remembered, Indie isn't your normal child. Why does it always take me so long to remember that? This kid can go all night if he wanted to; being laid back down and jumping up to open the door to try and escape. It's all a big game for him. So we decided that just for that night we would lock the door until he fell asleep. Which he did after just a few minutes of trying to open the door and not being able to. The next day we went out and bought those doorknob covers and one went on the inside of his door so that he'll actually stay in his room long enough to fall asleep. We'll see how long it lasts!

Haha! THis made me laugh because we went through the same thing with Cohen. That kid just wouldn't give up. He had figured out how to escape & he was going to do it over & over & over again. :)
