I woke up this morning with a jolt to an
unidentified sound (I later determined that that is what the child safety gate
sounds like when it closes and you are in a deep sleep) at 9:15. I laid
there for about 1-2 minutes trying to figure out what the sound was and Griffin
started crying-but not through the monitor! I then realized that the
monitor was NOT in my room!!! Apparently, I slept without it last night
for the first time in over 25 months. GASP. I open the bedroom door
to find Griffin halfway down the stairs. Obviously, he had climbed OUT of
his crib! YIKES. I set him on the counter and searched him for swelling,
gashes, bruises, bleeding, etc. when the schnoodles expertly notified me that
there was a visitor at the door. I had been awake for 15 minutes (God,
only knows how long Griffin-who was wearing Santa Claus pajamas-had been
awake). I am wearing my glasses, a t-shirt and have unbrushed teeth.
I removed Griffin from the counter and dashed to the bedroom in pursuit
of some shorts. Found some in the dirty clothes and shamelessly put them
on. The schnoodles were still in the throes of greeting the guest at the
door who I immediately recognized as a very kind MK customer of mine. I
welcome her in (pjs, nasty breath, but hey-at least I have on more than a t-shirt-Mrs.
Mary Kay at your service!). She was very sweet (as always) and told me
she had arrived to pick-up her order and that she had emailed me at 8:30 (per
my request) to tell me should would be by at 9:30-she didn't want me to have to
make any unnecessary trips with Griffin. HA! At this point, I would like to pause and thank God for giving me the
strength each night to pick-up the toy explosion that occurs daily in our home.
As she left, I crossed my fingers that she wasn’t
on her way to call CPS for neglect.
Naptime was unsuccessful as I watched him swan
dive, head 1st onto the hardwoods 3-4 times before calling it
quits.
We will be building the toddler bed tonight and
enforcing some new rules. Wish me luck!
