Dear Kinley...Find your own bed!

Dear Kinley,
     You are 17 months old and your Daddy has made you feel as if you are the boss around here.  That's right, I fully blame him for your "I can do whatever I want attitude"  He has a soft spot for you my little monster Sweet Pea and therefore when he is around, you pretty much rule the roost.  You will not stay in your bed, which does not seem to be a problem for him, and as much as I enjoy the kicks to the face and the boobs and the elbows to the eyes.....not to mention the fingers in my ears or up my nose, I kindly ask that you find somewhere else to sleep.  I have had some tell me to put a net over your bed to keep you in it, but I fear that you might just naw through that and possibly choke on the netting.  (You're crazy like that)  I have also had people tell me to put a child proof device on the inside door knob, but even though the room is dark at night, I am almost positive that you will pull the dresser down on top of you or hang yourself with the curtains.  One friend told me that his Mom use to turn the bed upside down on him to keep him in.  I have full confidence that you would kick right through the bars.  You fear nothing which in a sense makes me fear you.  I love you so much, but I don't think we can be bed buddies so if you could figure something else out, that would be great!

Hugs and Kisses,

Mommy
