can't contain me

Dennis climbed out of his crib this morning. I was surprised when he came to find me after his nap. I had heard him calling me and saying he was ready to get out, and I was on my way into his room when he met me in the hallway. It looks like he'll be learning to sleep in his toddler bed pretty much immediately! I hope he trains easily.

We went to the track again today and he patiently rode in the stroller while I walked and jogged. When we were done, he said "want to go see Daddy", so we did! We needed to buy baby wipes and they didn't have any at the grocery where David works, so we had to head to Wal-Mart. Dennis was surprisingly good at Wal-Mart today. Lately I've been mildly suicidal after our trips there from all the whining and complaining, but he enjoyed himself today. And therefore, so did I. Dennis was delighted to discovered that we were having pizza for supper!

We put him to sleep in his toddler bed tonight. I had intended to read a story to him to help prepare a new bedtime routine, one where we tuck him in and read to him, but he immediately climbed in and said "night night sweet dreams bye bye". We left him as he requested, and we heard a crash and he came to the door a minute later (we put those doorknob covers on today so now he can't get out). We escorted him back to his bed and he cried and said "no" but then dropped right off to sleep. It's hours later and he's still in his bed and hasn't fallen out or cried or anything. I am optimistic!
