Go to bed!
Our little volleyball player has figured out how to open the nursery door from her crib. She stands up and stands in the ultimate corner of the crib and uses all the might in her arms to pull open the heavy wooden door. She then presses the musical buttons on her toy hanging from the crib that plays a rendition of "It’s a Small World After All" with one extra note, just so the company cannot be sued by Disney. So she stands there and sings along at the top of her lungs in a voice that is just coming into its own. Finally Mommy acquiesced and let Claire out of bed for "just 10 more minutes". Now let’s see how long Claire gets to walk around and play after 8:00pm.
