SERIOUSLY!

It all started when Carter was playing Spider man...He was holding onto the toilet paper holder with BOTH of his feet on the wall. He was pretty pleased with himself and then everything came crashing down. At least he landed on the bath mats. Of course the holder was calling his name since it is just a bar, no toilet paper, since he hasn't gotten past the fascination with unrolling the toilet paper. Now he points to the wall and says, "Uh-oh!"


The latest came about on Friday when he learned he could turn the locks on the doors. He was having a little "think time" in his room for none else but playing in the toilet. I had previously mentioned Carter's new ability to Jason to just check the doors before shutting them which I did, but he pulled his cool maneuver after the door was closed. The hole in the door is not just a stick something in and it releases the lock. Apparently you have to turn with a medium sized flat screwdriver. I thought maybe taking the door knob off would help, but it doesn't. The door was still locked, but now with no knob on either side. Carter was desperately trying to help by sticking his side of the knob back up in the hole. Carter ended up puking from distress and backed away from the door. At which point, Jason broke the door down. I did not see that coming at all, but Carter was FREE at last!

We now have the door opening screw driver stored in an unlocking closet. Maybe our little girl won't be quite as adventurous.

Hahahahah, I am laughing out loud. Way to go Jason, just smash the door down =) Carter will have you worn right down when this little angel arrives. Then she will be 14 month, climbing up the toilet, sitting by the sink eating the soap. It's in the genes. We miss you guys. Just think of what Q and Carter could do in a locked room. xoxo
