Observations of a social experiment

As explained in the last post, Liam has graduated from a crib to a toddler bed. And we eliminated the stairway gate. Some of the things we have learned.
1) Liam, alone in the room, usually goes to bed without roaming around.
2) Liam, when placed into bed the same time as Galen, will play.
3) The roaming starts again at about 5:30 AM, it used to be 6.
4) There are occasional night time raids by the restless children.
5) It is nice to be able to kiss a sleeping Liam - that was impossible in a crib.
7) Flow control for the kids is easier than flow control for Boris.
8) The room looks bigger.

Social Experimentation

Today was a day of change. Barricades were tore down, furniture rearranged, and a bed replaced. Since we moved in the three primary levels have been guarded by a gate. We appreciated the flow control and protection it provided. Well, today it is gone. All animals, kids, and adults have free passage from one level to the next. Just in case we do have some portable gates laying around. If nothing else they'll help prevent Boris from pillaging the kids play room.

More monumental is Liam's bed change. We took out the crib and replaced with a toddler bed. He often stretches out in Galen's bed and says "night night." Well, tonight we'll see how he goes night night in a bed without borders. Some of their bookcases were also moved about. That seemed to be more exciting than the new bed.

Chaos, it's never ending. So why do just pile on more?
