It was 10 pm, and my daughter was 17 months old -- fast asleep in her crib.
Next thing I know I hear the door handle jiggling.
I walk to the door and open it.
My daughter comes walking out, holding her bottle in one hand,
and rubbing her head with the other.
She walks all the way to the kitchen and says:
Daughter: Where's mommy?
Daddy: She's in bed, Bo -- What are you doing?
Daughter: -- (said nothing, just gave me a blank stare)
In the morning I asked her to show me how she got out of her crib -- this is what she did:
1. Tossed her bottle over the side -- for later use
2. Climbed onto the attached dresser
3. Shimmied her way down until she reached the knob of a drawer
4. Repeated step 3 twice
5. Landed safely on the ground, picked up her bottle
6. Walked to the living room, and sat on the couch like it wasn't a big deal...
