Doors

The Toddler can now open doors.

Yesterday, while she was meant to be napping, she walked out to where I was on the couch with The Bubby and proudly declared "Oh! How lovely to see you again!" before I escorted her back to her room.

I thought it was just a one off until last night when it took close to 20 attempts for her to stay in her room - she has various delay tactics, the main ones being calling for 'mummy cuddles' (I gave in to that one at about attempt 8 but it wasn't enough to keep her in bed) or 'tuck in' (also didn't work).

I was glad I had watched quite a few of those Supernanny episodes and knew all you had to do was keep putting them back in without talking until they got the idea.

I indicated to The Husband that we could buy lever door handles and flip them so that the handle needs to be lifted up, but we agreed it would just be delaying the inevitable.
