Well, I guess it is easier when you have an ally…

We tried locking her in. She eventually knocked on her door and Eli let her out. Success!

Babygates. You know, the kind you put at the tops and bottoms of stairs? We have one in the door of Simone’s room. She can come to the babygate and yell (and she does) but she can’t get out. We did this when we transitioned her to her big girl bed because I had nightmares about the whole “children of the corn staring at you in your sleep” thing. Kids can be super creepy at night.

We did it with Will and then he figured out how to work them. These child locks just make our kids smarter.:) It was , however, a peaceful time for a few months when he couldn’t get out.

I’m seeing a sequel to Child’s Play in this. The PC starts off in a locked room…

When Tatiana was a wee one, we found her outside wandering the neighborhood at 4 in the morning. She would also manage to disable the alarms we put on the outside of her door. So at the doctor’s suggestion, we put locks on her door… and deadbolts at the top of all outside doors. She finally stopped wandering when she was 5.

Navarre is another escape artist and he has locks on the outside of his door as well. These locks are the tricky ones that take a tool to unlock. The down side is he has locked me in the room with him – the key on the outside – and I had to wait for Kevin to come home. But I do sleep peacefully at night.

Frustrated with Cindy wandering the chateau at night, entering her sisters’ rooms without knocking, and having freakish nightmares about singing rodents, her frustrated stepmother installs a lock on her door….

As soon as I moved Sean to his big boy bed, we put those door knob covers on his inside of his door. So, to answer your question, I’m all for it.
