Charlie escaped from his crib today. He has been throwing his leg up over the side for a few weeks, taunting us. But during a timeout (in his crib) this evening, he was so upset that he jumped right over the side. We heard a thump and Rob went running in, only to find Charlie walking across the floor saying "All done!" Thankfully, this all happened when Win and Wes were not in the room (imagine the ideas they would get!) and we were actively listening for him due to his short timeout. God is good!
And I'm confident that I was more traumatized by this than Charlie was. Cribs are their (and our) safe haven. When you have three toddlers, all in the same room, containment is key. I often hear of triplet parents who have to put mesh crib tents over the crib, in order to keep the kids in cribs longer. Three toddlers, in one room, in toddler beds? Not an option. Imagine the all night parties they would hold!
And here we are, in a new stage yet again.

Ginger, that is HILARIOUS!
Sounds like he landed on his feet. Hope he teaches Win and Wes the right way to "escape" since it is only a matter of time.
Now if they can only keep "landing on their feet" throughout their lives...

Oh Sweetie!
This is when your grandparents put a 4 inch hook high up on the bedroom door because I was the great escaper! Sorry!
Mom :)
