I had one of those kids who’d just go outside without telling me where he was going.
Wait. What am I doing, talking in the past tense?
That’s a very smart idea. We have an alarm that goes off when the door opens. And it has gone off and scared my 4 yr old enough not to try it again so far.
Maria@Conversations with Moms’s latest brilianceWordless Wednesday – Excited for about 2.5 seconds
My hub’s older sister used to sleep walk when she was a kid. Her parents were called on a few occasions, late at night, to come get D because she had walked next door or even across the street. That is a very good idea.

We’ve started locking the storm doors since Bear is strong enough to twist the dead bolts, but I’ve seen him working on them. You have to twist the little knob just far enough but not too far – sometimes it takes me a minute to get it.
I’m thinking another week of good weather and we’ll be back at the hardware store looking for Solution #3.

Oh man, I’m glad we haven’t gotten here yet. Good luck!! And, let’s hope he doesn’t build a lego ladder!

We can still use the plastic covers on the knobs…but I know those are next!
Krystyn’s latest brilianceOverwhelmed…and Thankful
LOL, next he’ll be dragging a stool over to try to undo it…
Smart thinking! I’ll never forget the day my husband and I were sitting on our couch (which is right by the front door – it’s a small house), and the door slowly inched open. It was the little boy from next door – but it scared the daylights out of me!

How funny! I’m afraid we’re going to have to do the same soon. My boy is getting super sneaky! Thanks for the idea!

Cage the Monkey!!! I wish we had one of those when Maddie was little.

We have to triple lock our door…both Little Man and Miss Peach have figured out how to open it. I am in a constant state of making sure the door is locked…
Nap Warden’s latest brilianceWelcome Back to the Land of the Living
Hahaha!! We had to do that as well with our kids…works till they find something high enough to undo it.

Just wait until he figures out how to move a chair to reach it.
Yep, it’ll happen (speaking from experience)! :O

amy’s latest brilianceI don’t know why they want her so bad anyway
I really need to get me one of those. My 1 1/2 year old little girl has learned how to unlock the door and the deadbolt. I have to really keep an eye on her so she doesn’t escape. I know if I hear the front door open and shut, I better come running. She’s still just a little too young to be going out on her own.

excellent idea. we, too, have to bolt our door to make sure our older daughter doesn’t go wandering off into the hall.

Kim’s latest brilianceWeekly Winners – 2nd edition
HA – I have had a similar lock on most of our doors for about 6 years now!! the pantry, the basement the garage door, the back door, the front door – the sad thing is – don’t leave it locked and then lock yourself out! Hee hee – I accidently locked my husband in the basement once and went to bed – he was not happy!
