The latest snafu happened after I started hearing strange noises coming from down the hall. It was kind of a thump THUMP boing that was happening over and over again. Since it was past my new pregnant lady bedtime (8:00 pm... yep, it's sad), I didn't feel like getting up and let it go. After awhile it stopped, so I didn't worry about it.
The next morning, the door to Bug's bedroom, which is always closed was wide open. This is what I found.
Apparently what I'd been hearing was repeated attempts by these two to open the door. Stupid lever door handles. Good thing I got Bug's co-sleeper set up and ready to go. BTW, this is before they noticed that I was there. As soon as they did, they avoided eye contact, acting like I'd caught them in the act. Since then, I've caught George (the striped one) spooning that ladybug pillow pet on several occassions.
Because they have become quite good at working together to get the door open and since my biggest baby fear is that one of these ding-dongs is going to spoon Bug and suffocate her, I decided it was time to do some baby proofing. With a little bit of research, and a trip to target, decided to go with the Safety 1st Pro Grade Lever Handle Lock. Should have read the reviews a little better.
Like I said, my projects have not been going well but the installation seemed pretty idiot proof, so WTH. I was very proud to have done a fantastic job of installing... see.. look!
That's exactly what I told DH when he came upstairs to see what I was doing, and decided to test my work by shutting the door. I'm sure you see where this is going.
Of course, it didn't shut because it ran directly into the door frame. Had I installed this on the other side of the door, it would have worked fine, but would have been completely ineffective in doing anything other than locking myself into the baby's room.
DH helped me take it off and informed me that he prefer that I consult him before starting any more projects.
My next one will be finding the right color white paint to match the door.
lololol...this SO looks like something I would do! And I specifically requested an extra mini-can of paint in each of the colors we painted the interior of the house, because of my propensity to scrape paint off of EVERYthing...lol
ReplyDeleteI have found that my IQ has dropped at least 50 points since I found out I was pregnant. Probably has something to do with the fact that my bladder interrupts my sleep so often.
