Bedtime just got a whole lot more interesting

Simon has been all about going vertical lately - climbing the stairs, standing on his toys, jumping on the bed....and his latest adventure, climbing out of the crib. We put him down for a nap and about half an hour later, we heard some chatting and some thumping. Now thumping is not uncommon for Simon. Kicking the wall repeatedly apparently helps him to sleep. But sometimes, chatting and thumping indicates that nap time is a bust and Matt felt this was one of those occasions. Imagine his surprise when he opened the door and saw Simon sitting on his lamb chair, reading a book. Matt confirmed that I hadn't let him out of the crib and then we quickly changed our plans for the morning and went about lowering Simon's crib to the lowest level. Hopefully that keeps him in until we get a chance to childproof his room and the top of the stairs.
