Kailyn's Night Out...
Kids do weird stuff.
Kailyn woke up crying at about 3:00 a.m. That can be a normal thing...can be anything from a bad dream to not feeling well. Don't know what it was last night, except that she had a hard time falling back to sleep...but, she did...or so we thought.
We woke up at 6 a.m. and noticed the lights on the baby monitor were lighting up. Since this normally only does this when she's crying, I got up to go see what was wrong.
When I opened her door, I realized that the baby monitor was not picking up a crying toddler, but the sound of her TV. She'd apparently gotten up, turned on her TV, and successfully got "Finding Nemo" started. The credits were playing when I walked in, so I assume she'd had the movie on for some time. However, Kailyn, the movie watcher, was sound asleep on the floor. I picked her up and put her back in the bed.
Since going back to sleep seemed kind of like a foolish thing to do, I decided to just get up start the day. That's when I noticed things that suggested Kailyn had probably been up for a long time. Her pillow was on the floor of the dining room... Several icons on my computer upstairs had been re-arranged (she does that sort of thing). So it appears that she had wandered the whole house for a good portion of the night. I don't know what was up with that...
How do you punish a kid for getting out of bed in the middle of the night when you're laughing at the whole thing?

WOW!
That's a lot of stuff for a 2 almost 3 year old kid to do. That's amazing.
