He's once, twice, three times Houdini
It has begun. Houdini is in the house, ladies and gentlemen!
This afternoon's nap was a mini adventure. In the cot, out of the cot, in the cot, out of the cot, in the cot, out of the cot, in the cot, out of the cot. All "ins" aided, all "outs" unaided.
Yes, that's it, he's not only discovered he can climb out of his cot, he does it four times to prove he's an expert at it. FOUR times he was out this afternoon. FOUR TIMES.
After getting back from our Sunday swim he was asleep in the car, so straight to bed rather than have lunch and then go. So while MOTS and I sat having ours, with boy wonder fast asleep (sic) we heard his bedroom door handle. "Is he in his cot, or in the bed" I enquired. The bed being the inflatable mattress that's been up for a while for "sick" sleeps. "Cot" replied MOTS. Oh dear then, he's climbed out. But there was no thud. So I went to investigate. And there, at the top of the stairs, still in his grobag, looking very proud of himself, was the Houdini Jr.
So why no thud? No crash, No scream?
And this is where Tumbletots comes in. He's been taught how to climb down as well as up. So when we saw how he was climbing it was no surprise that he was doing it safely. Standing in the corner gives two side to hold onto. Knee over the corner, foot over, bodyweight shifted and trailing leg over, lowered down with arms hanging on to the top. Escape complete.
And every time he climbs out he looks so proud.
One conversion to a bed coming up... it's been a long time coming but it's finally here.
