I need to get off chefsuccess

sillylittlechef · 03-09-2007, 04:05 PM

Ok. my 15 month old has learned a new trick....opening the sliding doors onto our deck....Thankfully, the back yard is fenced! I kept hearing him yelling, but it sounded really far away...I searched the entire house and was really starting to panic when I realized the doors were open a little. There was my little monster covered from head to toe in mud! Well, that outfit is ruined. It was so cute and he was having so much fun I had to let him play while I took pictures....Oh to be little and enjoy playing in the mud again! Anyway, I guess that just shows me that I spend too much time on chefsuccess and not letting my baby play outside.

hey... get some Oxy Clean... make it about 3 or 4 times stronger than it says to in very hot water and soak that outfit... been there... done that... have a son who cannot resist mud!

Put a broom stick in the door track and he wont be getting out any more

This is my favorite company for baby stuff and I have ordered from them numerous times! I am the queen of babyproofing because I spend so much time here, LOL!

Here is their door and window choices-

I had the same problem, my kids want to be outside most of the day so I finally got a lap top for X-mas!!

jdavis · 03-09-2007, 04:37 PM

Well my littlest monster knows how to open the gate outside, and walk down to the school 2 blocks away, UGHH!!!!! He has done this about 6 times now. DH let him go down to the school to play with his older brothers a couple of times, but when I was at work one time, I pulled up at the house and the door was open, I'm thinking what is going on? I go in and DH is talking on the phone, I ask where DS is and he says in the back yard, I said no he isn't, and the gate was opened, and so was the back door. Crap. SO I start walking around the house, and neighbors houses yelling for him and DH jumps in van and drives down alley to school, and down by the fence next to school, there he is just walking into the fence, going to find his brothers, UGHH! We live on the second busiest street for podunkville, but they walk down the alley since we use the back door, thank goodness.

We started using one of those bungee like cords that you use to tie stuff down with hooks on them and if the older boys left the yard to go to the school or wherever they were to strap that around the gate, tight, and he couldn't get out, well it didn't take long for him to figure that one out either, the little terd. I was taking a shower thinking he was nice and safe in the back yard and nope, he decided to go for another stroll. He is such a little smarta** that sometimes I hate it!

Oh my, how old is he? That would freak me out if my girls did that!

Miss Cori · 03-09-2007, 04:39 PM

That is soo scary. I would lock him in the bathroom with me.

jdavis · 03-09-2007, 04:40 PM

He is now 3 1/2 but I think it was about a year ago the first time this happened.

jdavis · 03-09-2007, 04:45 PM

A guy from work, don't have a clue what his name is brought him home, my mother asked him how he knew where he lived and he said he showed me, ughh. I have tried all kinds of things with that stupid gate to no avail, he sneaks out of the house when I am trying to work, or shower, or cleaning, and is gone for like 2 seconds and he's already down the street, I need to get another lock for the door, one that's higher so he can't reach it. Good thing we live in podunkville, but it really freaks me out, and he has hid in my closet one time and I thought he was out wandering around, I could have strangled him, good thing he's so cute, lol.

gilliandanielle · 03-09-2007, 04:56 PM

They also have a cheapy GPS type locator on there Jenn- it looks like a bug and you clip it to your kid and use the parent remote to find them!

ETA- here is the link

Miss Cori · 03-09-2007, 04:57 PM

Depending on what kind of gate you have, Cant you get a lock with a key for like a locker. Is there a hole you can feed a lock through. OR somewhere you can chain it and then lock that.

Holy Cow $70, and I'm sure he would figure out how to switch it off in a day or two.

gilliandanielle · 03-09-2007, 05:04 PM

They have leashes on there! LMAO!!

jdavis · 03-09-2007, 05:04 PM

OOps, $60. But I am sure with his little smart butt he would have it figured out in no time.

jdavis · 03-09-2007, 05:04 PM

Hmmm, tie him up when I get in the shower, now there's an idea, lol.

jdavis · 03-09-2007, 05:07 PM

ANYWAY, you all have to quit bugging me so I can go take a shower in peace, DH took the kids to the park or somewhere and I have to get ready to go!
