Toddler Bed Adventures

Since the past week Kai has been sleeping in a toddler bed. Technically it's still his crib, but we have taken one side off and installed a guard rail and Kai loves to talk about his "new bed". To our suprise he stayed in his bed the whole first week. When he woke up he would call for us, saying that he was awake, but he would be sitting quietly in his bed.

However, this has changed! After finding him playing in his room once when we were sure that he was still asleep, quite a funny thing happened today.

I had put Kai down for his nap and since he was very tired and I did not hear a sound from his room, I assumed he was asleep. When putting him to bed I had turned the monitor on in his room, because I would be on the phone and wanted to be able to see if he was awake. Temporarily the monitor was on the floor (usually it is in a place where Kai can't reach it that easily). Downstairs I turned the monitor on too, but it didn't seem to work. This suprised me, but I assumed that I must have been forgetful and didn't turn it on after all.

When I went to his room to wake him because we had to go somewhere, this is what I found:

An empty bed, a sleeping Kai on the floor:






The monitor disconnected from the socket.



The child safety plug, put back in the socket. (Mind you, this was lying on a shelf when I left his room.)



The naughty little boy awake again.
