I swear she's out to get me

Well this morning I woke up at about 9:00 to a Mohannah leaning over me with mommy's makeup in hand. At the time she had my eyeliner and lipstick, well she had it all over her and when I got up and looked in the mirror it was all over my face. I've tolded her over and over to "stay out of mommy's makeup" guess she really doesn't care lol. Well I gave her a bath to clean all the makeup off and she freaked right out cause "she looked pretty like mommy" LOL. Mohannah can be a major pain my arse sometimes but she's such a cutie.

LOL..Well it isn't the first time Mohannah has gotten into my makeup, she gets into everything of mine..Even my homework, I had to redo all my homework. LOL luckily Mohannah is an understanding child and knows when she does wrong and listens when I say "time out"

Maybe put a net over her crib so she can't get out. If she sleeps with you or in a bed, put a gate or child safety lock on the bedroom door. Locks are very inexpensive at stores like Target.
It may be annoying for her to get into your makeup, but if she is able to run around the house while you are asleep, she could get hurt badly.

Normally she sleeps in her crib, but she woke up at about 1:00 crying and yelling for me because she had a nightmare..maybe I should get some locks put on mine and her door so she stays out of trouble.

Also, you may want to think about putting bells in strategic places, like on doorknobs....so that you can hear if she tries to go anywhere. I was the Houdini Baby and my mother would often wake up in the middle of the night and I'd be toddling off down the street...

Just, if you do get bells, make sure they don't have parts that she could swallow and choke on. You probably already knew that, but I didn't think about it till just now.

Hmmm..bells are a good idea or maybe until she outgrows her "get into mommy's stuff" stage I'll let her sleep in my room and put a net over her crib and get locks for my doors.

Be really careful with the locks on your doors. If there's a fire, you need to be able to get in there quickly to get her out.

my kid was the exact same way. she got into everything when i was sleeping.

i took her door on the hinges, and put a babygate up instead. it may seem a little drastic, but i couldnt bare to lock the doors while we were sleeping...

I got this picture of me when I was a baby, where I had this big happy grin on my face, and lipstick all over my cheeks, chin, mouth, and nose. My mom apparently took the picture, and then freaked out at me afterwards, cuse it was so cute, but destroying her $80 lipstick wasnt. She also told me that I used to steal her make up, and I had this weird crib where if I dropped things down a certain side, I could get it later, but they couldnt see it, so for months everyone wonderd where stuff was going, andI was stockpiling make up in my crib.

I used the net on the crib thing which worked till they could unzip them, then once they were in toddler beds I used gates in front of the door till they could climb..lol. Now I've resorted to just waking up early (which I hate! lol) to beat them at their own game or else they get in a world of trouble!

That is so funny. I used the babygate in front of the kids door trick when Owen started opening his door, mainly because he wouldn't go to sleep, he'd just keep coming out of his room crying and he was only 18 months.
I smoked cigarettes at that time, only outside of the house, but I used to keep them on top of the fridge when we came in from our "stroll around the apartment building" for a butt. This one night, after Owen had gone to bed, and because I lived on the main floor of the building, I sat on my bedroom window sill outside and had a smoke. When I came in I put the smokes on my coffee table and slept on my futon couch in the livingroom. When he woke up from a bad dream I let him sleep with me in the livingroom, forgetting about my smokes. Thank goodness he didn't eat them or anything, but I guess he figured that I did, so he fed them to me. I woke up with tabacco all in my mouth. It was so gross. I quit smoking for like 2 years after that. Come to think of it, I don't know why I started again.
