bad mom or genius?

Max is trouble! He recently figured out how to climb out of his crib. This morning he really found trouble. When I went downstairs I found all the kitchen lights on, the silverware drawer empty, its contents spread across the counter, thr heat off and the air conditioner on. I thought about a crib tent but they seem like a prison and i know he'd really hate it and I don't think I could bear to tie it closed. so after diliberation and prayer

I hope I found my solution....I reversed his door knob so the lock is on the outside. I will lock it before bed and my hubby will unlock it when he leaves for work at 6:20am. Also I placed a small plastic bowl of dry cereal along with a sippy cup of water for him. I think he was attempting to feed himself which is why the spoons (amongst other things) were out. His room is full of fun toys that I know he can amuse himself with. We'll see what the morning brings but I can't stop wondering am I a bad mom or a genius?

  1. I think you're a genius. Don't feel bad about keeping your children out of trouble. You're the mom and you're a great one at that!
