Carrie12345 Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 I think my brain may turn to mush soon. My two youngest have been making it a habit to wake up between 3 and 4am. Last night, they were up at 2. I'd just ignore the 5yo, but the almost-2yo is potentially dangerous. He can take down baby gates (so stairs are an issue), he can uncrate the dogs (who are trained to "potty" when they're first let out), he's removed the child lock from our bottom freezer and is getting close to figuring out every other safety lock, he moves chairs to climb up tables and counters, outlet covers are a joke, and he has a fondness for "rearranging" bookshelves. SOooo, I have been awake since 2, 3, and 4 most "mornings" for about 2 weeks now. The 5yo doesn't nap, and the toddler is more miss than hit with naps. 5yo has been falling asleep btw 7 and 8, but the toddler will fall asleep anywhere between 6 and 9. I forced him to stay awake until 10 a few nights ago, and he was still up at 3. I don't remember signing up for this! :tongue_smilie: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unicorn. Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 :grouphug: I think you need to go rent the movie "Please Don't Eat the Daisies" with Doris Day. When mine were little, I put chains on all the doors, near the top. I told people it wasn't to keep people out, but to keep the toddlers IN!

itsheresomewhere Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 Just be glad they haven't painted the dogs blue and the couch. :lol:. Everyone one of our doors has chains and on some knobs we had those mardi gras beads wrapped around the handles. DS was a master at locks but yet those beads were tricky as they just spin around the knobs. I hope they get so tired they sleep all night.
