JackMN busted out of his room this morning.

[LaraMN]

He was up for half an hour, before I knew. I was confused as to why he came walking down the stairs with the big kids, when I got up; his bedroom's downstairs and I hadn't let him out, yet.

NoelMN told me Jack came upstairs and woke him up at 6:30.
That kid is going to kill. me.

:scared:

1. A deadbolt is the answer

Sorry, but thats the way it has to be.

2. Clever boy.

Maybe you can convince him to play the "laundry game."

I've thought about getting a couple..we have an 8 yr old sleepwalker. She had night terrors for years, at least those were noisy and thank goodness they seem to be gone now. However, a couple times recently, she's very quietly got up and gone downstairs while she's still asleep. I happened to still be up and followed her.

4. Do you have those doorknob covers?

Even my MIL can't operate them, much less KayTot.

5. Freaks me out when my son wakes me up

He doesn't use his wheelchair to get to my room, he just gets down on all fours and crawls in - I wake up with his face right in mine :wow: "Hey, can I get some breakfast?" eeek.

6. Hey, he's hungry.

:P

7. He's also 18 and capable of waiting until dawn!!!

He is able to open the fridge and we have granola bars and small cartons of milk in there so he could grab a snack until Mom gets up. I think it's more that he woke up early and decided everyone else should as well (I mean why not? I was put on this earth solely to provide for his every need!!! x()

8. Ah. Yes, at 18 years old he can fix his own damned breakfast.

:P

9. No, he cannot fix his own breakfast.

I wold be afraid to let him near the stove/knives/etc. Which is why we filled the fridge with snacks that could tide him over until an adult could provide him a meal. 18, yes, able physically or mentally? NO!

He has a TV/Nintendo DS/Cell phone in his room - just stay there til Momma has her coffee!!!
