Now What Do I Do?
I've worked out what I think is a pretty nice morning routine. She gets up; I get her milk; I retrieve her from her bedroom and bring her to my bedroom; place her in the playpen; turn on the TV; and then I'm free to get ready for the day. For 870 days, this routine has suited me just fine ... until today.
Sometimes during this morning routine, Lauren is not thrilled with the show Disney channel offers. The usual culprit is Handy Manny. She is okay with the show, but it does not receive the complete undevoted attention that a Mickey Mouse Clubhouse does. Apparently, she reached her threshold of Handy Manny while I was in the bathtub. Sometime during toweling off, I hear the sound of fabric rubbing together and a *thump*. An odd sound to be sure, but I thought nothing of it. Then, Lauren walked into the bathroom and said "Hi Daddy!".
That last sentence may not seem that bad but I refer you to our morning routine. When I started this bath, she was in a playpen happily watching Mickey Mouse Clubhouse. When I ended this bath, she was wandering around on her own. Great! She climbed out of the playpen. And she did it with such skill so as to not hurt herself. What am I supposed to do now? How am I supposed to trap her now? Guess I'm to turning the playpen upside down and putting a few bricks on top.
