Ellie has reached a new phase in her growth and development...sneakiness! She has NOT been wanting to go to bed. So, what does she do? She sneaks out of her room and hides in various places around the living room. The thing is, she is so stinking quiet that you rarely hear her moving around. The other day I noticed her door was open so I went down the hall to tell her to go to bed. Lo and behold she was not in her room. I came running out and told Kevin she wasn't in there. Suddenly I heard a giggle. She was hiding under a blanket next to the couch!! I had NO idea that she was there. Last night I was reading a book in the living room and looked up to see Ellie's face like 2 inches away from mine. I thought I was going to have a heart attack!! Ahhh! I think I slept more when the two of them were little babies vs. now.
On top of all of this she has not figured out how to climb over the gate going down to the entry way. Kevin was changing Emma's diaper the other day and Ellie made a grand leap over the gate in her new rain boots (thanks Grandma) and out into the snow. At least she was dressed this time. Do you see a pattern, however, how all of her escapes happen when Kevin is on duty? I have since put safety locks on the doors downstairs so hopefully that won't happen again. We'll see how long that lasts.
Children are quite the adventure.
