Kyle The Mountain Lion

My sister Kari summed it up well when she said that Kyle is like a mountain lion. He climbs and he growls. Last night Ben and I had a date night at home planned. Sean and Jason were at my parents for a sleepover so we took Kyle to dinner with us and rented a chick flick. It did not go as planned! Kyle learned to climb out of his crib. I say he learned, but my suspicions turn to Jason. He and Kyle play in the crib a lot, so I think Jason secretly taught him how. Anyway, Kyle was up until after midnight and up again at 5:30 am. I spent $70 on a crib tent this morning that may signal a visit from a social worker. I don't know how it can be quite legal to zip a kid into bed. However, desperate times calls for desperate measures. I am happy to say though, that I have not had to open the box yet. I waited until he was nearly asleep on his feet for his afternoon nap, then woke him up before he could get too much energy built up for tonight. We moved the crib into the room with his brothers and they all had some fun with that. I would walk by the hall and hear really loud laughing mixed with "no, no Kyle." He climbed out a few times and I had to retrieve him from the top bunk once, but they are all asleep in their own beds right now. Happy day! I'm not taking the crib tent back just yet. I think we may have just been lucky tonight.
