Remember how I mentioned Kendall was in a toddler bed? This came with a few unexpected pitfalls. Most notable was the fact that she is now free range. This is great in the mornings when I don't want to get out of bed and she just walks in and climbs into bed with me. Free range is not so good when she has a lot of toys and clothes in her room that she can entertain herself with until she falls asleep.
Let me walk you through a typical evening after Kendall has finally settled down and fallen asleep. First, this all starts off around 8 when we get her into her PJs and tucked into bed. Then, depending on how tired she is, you will hear banging coming for her room for up to an hour. Once it gets nice and quiet for an extended period of time, you know, after you finish watching that show you DVRd, you open the door and find the following.
 |
| All the dresser drawers are open, I could have sworn I closed these before putting Kendall down... |
 |
| Where is Kendall? |
 |
| All the stuffed animals and books are removed from the bookshelves... |
 |
| Oh, there's Kendall, amid all her clothes, animals and books. |
I think the funniest night that this happened we actually could not find Kendall. We could hear her snoring a little when we went into the room, but the blanket was pulled up over her head covering the pillow. Or so we thought. When we pulled back the blanket to get her some air we found that she had created a dummy Kendall out of stuffed animals and covered it with her blanket. Took us a good couple of minutes to find her asleep behind the chair. Can't say she isn't inventive.
