Nixon's New Trick

This is Nixon's new trick.

He thinks it's great.

He loves it!!

And he's proud of it.

Nic and I on the other hand aren't very excited about it.

We actually don't like it at all.

During the summer while we are away from home, Nixon sleeps in a pack and play. Well, two nights ago we put Nixon to sleep and could hear him talking and playing in his pack and play, which is normal. It sounded a little louder than usual but he went sleep happy so we didn't think anything of it. Nic thought he could hear Nixon by the door but wasn't sure so Nic went to go check on him and when he opened Nixon's bedroom door he hit Nixon with the door!!! Nic yelled for me to come see him and sure enough Nixon was just standing there. We put him right back in to go to sleep and luckily he went right to sleep. The next day for his nap we didn't have such luck. This is what I caught him doing. I caught him in the act!!!

When we tried to put him to sleep last night, he was out of that thing within seconds. Nic and I were panicking. We had no idea what to do. Our friends Jeff and Charlee were over and they were trying to help us think of someway to trap him in so he couldn't get out.
This is what we came up with. We put his pack and play in his closet flush up against the suitcases and the wall so that at least two sides are blocked off. We then moved his dresser in front of the closet so that other side is blocked off. It's the best we could come up with. But it worked and that's all that matters!!
Here he is...stuck!!! When we finally put him to bed he cried for like a minute and then he was quiet. We weren't sure if he was trying to figure a way out or if he gave up and went to sleep. We checked on him later last night and sure enough he was asleep. Hopefully this lasts for the rest of the summer til we get home and he can be in his crib again.

On a side note: Nic's mom had to do the same to Nic when he was little. She put a card table on top of his crib and then had to put heavy stuff on top of the table so he couldn't get out. HAHA. Like father, like son!!!
