It's Time To Say Goodbye

to the cribs that is! The beds are coming....finally!

Delaney started to crawl out of her crib last year. It was December 23, 2007 to be exact. We were at my dad's for a Christmas Eve Eve party and Delaney got a Barbie car. This large hot pink car and she loved it. When we got home, we opened it and let her play with it. She was so excited. Then it was time for bed, it was late. So, the twins were brought upstairs for bed. Rob and Aidan were playing with this helicopter toy Aidan got. I am cleaning up the toys in the "toy area." Now anyone who has been to our home, knows that the toy area is behind the couch, which is at the bottom of the stairs. Suddenly I hear "Hi mommy" and there she is, with a smile. Delaney had no clue why my mouth was sitting on the floor....

I asked her what she was doing and she told me "Barbie car"....OK, so this Barbie car was so important that she had to climb out of her crib, open her door, and walk downstairs to get it! I didn't hear her, she was good (wish me luck when she is 17)! Now, here is the thing. I had a feeling she was getting out of her crib - there were some mysterious events going on in that room of theirs. But, she denied it and I didn't have proof. Now, she was busted. And all over a Barbie car.

She got in trouble, she had to know that what she did was wrong.

Well, that little stinker...minutes later, here she comes again!

So, the curiosity got to me one day and I did ask her to show me how she got in and out. Yup, she had been perfecting this for a while.

This brought us to the beds. She didn't do this for a while again and then we would go through periods of it. One day Logan decided to climb out..but didn't do it so gracefuly. Dive bomb was more like it.

So the beds were ordered in the spring.

For many reasons it took a while to get them, but they are coming tomorrow!

In the meantime, Logan learned to climb onto other furniture to get in and out...they are monkeys and thankfully no one was hurt in the process.

Stay tuned to hear how the bed thing is going..and how separation is effecting the twins....
