Our little escape artist

Jula is our little escape artist! At first she showed us she could escape from her bed...she throws her leg up and pulls herself right over the edge and then slides down to the floor - easy does it! This presented an issue at nap time because she would climb right out. A few days of tears and fighting she seemed to get the fact that she has to stay in. Crisis solved or so we thought!


The new escape tactic is escaping from her clothes!!! I am not going to psychoanalyze her behavior because she is only 1 1/2 years old and I personally believe that she thinks it's FUN! It's also kinda funny to see after a nap or when she wakes up in the morning. WELL IT WAS NOT FUNNY FRIDAY morning when she woke up completely nude without a diaper! We think she took everything off and slept that way all night long! Poor baby, we're sure she froze and sleeping in pee could not be fun!

So, Julian has come up with a very creative idea to keep her clothed! We took one of the sleepers she's outgrown, cut the feet off and put it on her backwards! I wasn't convinced it would work but here she is AFTER her nap:







Yep - she looks hilarious but it worked like a charm! 3 nights later and dressing her backwards is still working! Thank goodness for creative parenting!
