Oh, probably, but it just seems wrong to be able to lock my kiddo into his room. Even though that's technically what I'm doing with the childproof knob.

I don't think it's at all logical, but there it is.

only reason i suggested reversing it was so he couldn't lock himself in and you not be able to get to him..if its on the outside u have control over it not him and i seriously doubt you would lock your own kid in his room.

A less expensive alternative is to just slather grease all over the knob.

Bahaha, I'd have a crying child until I came and rescued him from his own messy hands. If he gets anything sticky on his hands he will seriously just sit there, holding them out in front of him and being upset until they get cleaned off. OCD bebe.

So I get him tucked in tonight and head out to my car to pick up the pizza I ordered. I look up and he's standing in the window (standing on the window sill) grinning and waving at me.

Doh =(

We are, beleive it or not, back to sleeping in his Joovy, but at least he's sleeping all night long !!! Not happening in his crib. I'm figuring that in a month or so, we'll be 18 months and ready to convert to toddler bed. ALSO, big help, IS NOT HAVING AN AFTERNOON NAP !! Helped a TON, he's now alseep by 8 p.m. and mommy and daddy get our time :buddies::dye:

1.) What is a Joovy?

2.) Your son doesn't have a nap at all during the day?

Joovy is an oversized play pen that currently serves as his bed with pillow. It's HUGE, 10 sq feet I think.

Naps are given at daycare in the a.m. and p.m. We've eliminated the p.m. nap and he sleeps all night now. He's had ear infections/viruses etc and gotten so used to sleeping in his Joovy, the pediatrician says to stop fighting with him about the crib, we tried the CIO method and it doesn't work, he flails everywhere to the point he injurs himself, so, he's in Joovy :killingme

Gotcha... lol I looked up joovy on google and it showed a stroller. I was thinking "he is sleeping in a stroller? :wr:

Bubba only takes 1 nap as we... From around 10:00 - 11:00 at daycare.

He has been sleeping through the night, it is just getting him to go to sleep that is the problem. :ohwell:

So about 6:30am I'm woken up by shrieking toddler. I usually give him a cup of milk in the mornings, so I go down to get that ready. He's still shrieking (not panicked, just... noise, interspersed with his honey pot music).

I bring the bottle back up and he's sitting in the middle of his bed, blanket wrapped around himself with his turtle nightlight in his lap. Boy gives me this totally sulky look, looks up at the overhead light and says "On!"

Hmm. Perhaps he doesn't like the dark. This could be a very long winter.

My boy is the opposite, he can't sleep with any type of light on.

He does have the turtle light that I think your talking about, it shines stars through its shell onto the cealing.

Oh, he SLEEPS with the lights out just fine! He just doesn't like being awake in the dark, apparently.

Is it called a "dream light"? My mother asked me if I had one of those??
