Hi lurking Bekki and any other lurkers.

V climbing out of her cot last night wasn't a one off! She did it tonight as soon as I put her down, then another three times to show me how it's done!

I'm upstairs now, on my phone, ignoring her crying at the safety gate on the bedroom door! What do I do to get her to stay in/sleep?

Hi there 3 - I have to confess at laughing at your video on FB!

have your tried V in a sleepingbag? It would mean she couldn't lift her leg high enough to climb out? (that is if she'll keep one on - annabel takes hers off when she feels like it).

or - have you a travel cot? they are ahrder to climb out of........

failing that I believe ikea do nice toddler bed? :rotfl: sorry I'm not much help I know....had a glass of wine!

Elle, she probably doesn't want to not see his adorable little self any more I'm so glad it all sounds so positive.

Yup, we'll go for that

Forgot to say, he's gained a massive (:cool:) 5oz in a month... but, refreshingly, the consultant isn't bothered in the slightest She just looked me up and down, said "he probably gets it from you" and moved on

3- I was genuinely astounded at your FB video but I laughed a little bit too.

The problem with having tea at 6pm is that you need another tea by half nine. I think I may be addicted to hummous.......

3 - that video is definitely one for the future husband when she is older.

Benjamin's cot isn't even on the lowest setting yet he rarely shows any inclination to even stand up...although sometimes I catch him looking out of the window!

*cue Benjamin learning to escape*

V has always been a little houdini though - she was standing up in her Antilop really early...Benjamin has never tried to escape his!

Elle, all sounds good doesn't it even though she's not letting you out of her grasp just yet?

Can't remember who it was but the naughty step always worked here, in fact Millie still sends grandad to sit on it when he's naughty and he's 70!

Well the dirty deed is done, neighbours daughter was asked on FB why the cops were outside her house earlier so neighour txt me to ask and I said ring me I've told her and it was bad but I feel a bit better now, (that's awful isn't it?)

SugarSpun

I can vouch for V's houdini ways. Future expat, that one.

I think boys are less inclined to escape from the place where they get food.

I'm relieved for you, MM. It must have been a horrible burden knowing you had to tell them tomorrow. Gotta love facebook though!

Sarah_Joanne

It's not bad MM, it's understandable. I wonder if the daughter will be in trouble for posting about the hol on FB?

Great news Elle.

I am planning on having a naughty step in our house. Maybe I'll practice by sending DH to it when he pees me off lol

Hello Bekki!

Why don't you post? I am always amazed at lurkers! How the hell do you keep your trap shut?

Are you anywhere near to the Monkey Forest on 29 September?

Im quite shy and I find it hard to just jump into the conversations.

Would like to, little man would love it, ive not took him there yet

Cyi can climb out of his playpen and cot, I now let him go sleep on my bed and then move him when hes asleep.

When he climbed out of his cot he flipped and landed on my head whilst I was asleep as it was right next to my bed, im trying to finish his room off (just moved in) and have already bought him a bed, and will just put a stair gate on his door.

He wasnt so lucky when he fell out of his playpen though he went head first on to the concrete floor and ended up in A&E (he was fine just a grazed head)

and he hasn't ate in his high chair since he turned 1 as he can climb out no matter how tight the straps are!
