LOL, I forgot to mention the boy was also a climber. We had to put a mattress on the floor in his bedroom shortly after he learned to walk because he could climb out of his crib.

@Marsha: On top of the fridge? WOW! I’m pretty sure I would have flipped my lid if I found Ace on top of the refrigerator…

My son was an escape artist and he liked to take things apart. He was as quiet as a mouse. It wasn’t unusual to discover every drawer nob and table let bolt in the house missing. I even found my alarm clock dismantled once. My son walked at 9 months. I found him sitting on top of the refrigerator eating cookies shortly after his first birthday. LOL!! The boy is now 19. Not really sure how he survived all those years.

hows about you take the stuffed animals to him? That way he won’t be thumping down the stairs AND he can have his stuffed animals wherever he goes on his break-outs. Everybody wins!

Wow! now that’s a brave little guy to venture outside. Good thing he didn’t wander too far.

@hoenybell: At least I am not the only one. Bet that was a tad bit scary!!

I have SO lost my kid. After several night time raids on the kitchen (refrigerators are apparently not to be left open for hours), one morning he actually left the house before the sun came up. Luckily we found him right away (sitting on the porch swing in his jammies), but we did have to begin locking him in his room after that.

Now that he’s potty trained, we leave his door open. Thankfully there are no more middle of the night escapades!

@Ed: Believe me, I have seriously considered locking him in his room, but Momma won’t allow it. A fire safety thing…

Maybe we should actually set the alarm at night so that it will go off if he opens the door.

@Martin: Especially if he smells of a mix of booze/perfume and has hints of glitter on his face.

@Eric: Our front door has one of those lever door knobs. I haven’t been able to find a child safety thing for it. The chain lock will have to do.
