Luke-Xavier climbing out of bed
Luke-Xavier climbing out of bed 2
Well, we’re in for it now! Little, 19 month-old, Luke-Xavier learned 2 things yesterday. First, he learned he can take his clothes off. Great! I must have dressed him 15 times yesterday. As a matter of fact, he was dressed completely inappropriately at Tristan’s soccer practice because when I scooped him up to leave, he was down to his diaper (thank goodness he hasn’t figured THAT out yet) so I grabbed the first item on his clean clothes pile and brought it with me. Poor little guy ended up in a onesie for evening soccer practice and got cold enough that I had to sit in the car with him. And second, he’s learned to climb out of his bed. So, all routine is out the window! Between Clay and I we put him to bed more than a dozen times last night. And forget putting him back down after his middle-of-the-night nursing session. UGH. Clay was curious as to HOW he was managing to get out of bed, so he set up the video camera to find out. I thought it was funny! He throws any items he may want ie; bottle, pillow, etc. out of the bed and then swings one leg up until he gets his heal over the side and then wiggles his way up and over, landing on his feet. So, here we go for the ninth time with a toddler too young to understand the value of a good night’s sleep or an afternoon nap who can get out of bed and be cranky because they aren’t getting enough sleep. I know the phase passes, but it’s never fun!

Good night~

    Makes me think when Anna was little. She was impossible to bed down for the night. “Monkey-Boy” just doesn’t want to miss out on anything. Good Luck!

    I remember when Anna also used to get out of her car seat while you were driving. I was with you the day you went to the police station and had an officer come to the car and tell her how important it was to stay buckled in and that her mommy would get in big trouble if she didn’t. What a daredevil Lex is! You and Clay must get barely any sleep with “Mogli” climbing around. I love you.

    I believe it! I’ve only been here a couple of hours and I’ve seen him climbing up everything! He’s SO strong for being so tiny! :)
