Lately we've been having a problem with our kids - apparently they love us too much! You know the problem - the one where your kids can't be in another room - more than two feet away from you - where they expect you to entertain them and become extremely crabby when you suggest things like playing outside, playing with toys or in some way being independent from the adults...So this morning we decided to send them to one of two locations so mommy and daddy could have some alone time. The gate (see above) served two purposes:
- Kept Tyler from climbing upstairs or falling downstairs.
- Allowed the girls access to either their room or the toy room downstairs.
After about 20 minutes of this, it became painfully obvious to me that I should call CPS on myself for "locking my children up." Rachel (above) shows her excitement for being locked up. And with the look on her face (below) they were not forced to stay behind the gates much longer...
