Why Some Parents Fear Toddler Beds

This actually happened a couple months back, but since this is meant as a record for Leo and Luka, it belongs.

One August evening, roundabout 10:45, I heard some suspicious noises from the boys’ room, and as W happened to be walking down the hall towards their door, I asked him to check it out.  He immediately shut the door and began laughing, and said, “You’ve got to see what Leo’s up to…” 

I looked, and oh, my god… toys everywhere.  And Leo was pretty proud of the display.  Luka, totally oblivious, was zoned out, sound asleep, as usual.  So W was good, and returned the toys to their various shelves, and I had a little talk with Leo about the benefits of sleep and all that.  Obviously it didn’t work, since about forty-five minutes later, I heard similar shuffling sounds, and opened the door to find the scene below…

It hasn’t happened since, and I still think that people shouldn’t be afraid to give their little ones a little bedtime freedom…  The laughs are priceless.
