Today's adventure...

So... we just moved the twin bed into Jenna's room this morning. She was totally excited. We played hard at the park and Jenna was pretty tired. We decided to give her big kid bed a go for naptime. Dan put her down in her bed, said "night night" and closed the door. 20 minutes later, Dan went to go check on her. Coming up the stairs, it sounded like she was asleep. Oh good. One small problem. We forgot about the locks on our doors (they were installed when I was a teenager for privacy)... Jenna locked herself in!! Dan came downstairs very calmly and said "Don't freak out, but Jenna locked the door to her room." After trying all the random keys in our house, we had to call a locksmith to come open the door for us. Thankfully, she was asleep and only woke up to the sound of the locksmith unlocking her door, so she wasn't scared at all. We are now going to Home Depot to buy regular no-lock doorknobs for all the doors with locks on them that need real keys (instead of the kind you just stick a little pin in). And that was our adventure for today. Something for all of you with toddlers to think about. It'll save you $50 in the end.

  1. Yes, that does sound like quite an adventure! Glad it turned out okay, (minus the whole having to spend $50 part.) :)

  2. I know it didn't bother her much but poor parents that had to be frustrating. At least it didn't cost more to get in.

  3. Oh my! Lucky thing she went to sleep right away! We had no such luck with little Hamilton when we tried to get him to sleep in a toddler bed. We tried for a week or two, but he would stay up for hours, whether we stayed with him or not. He's still in his crib, with a crib tent on top. I figure as long as he's out of it before he's 5 we'll be good:)
