Perseverance

They should make a Perseverance motivational poster with Andrew's face on it. We put him up in bed a little after 8. Since he hasn't been staying in bed, Mike locked all of the doors up there (except Andrew's) and he closed the gate at the top of the steps. Andrew cried for a little while but eventually got quiet. We assumed he went to bed. A little bit ago - about 2 hrs.after we laid him down - Mike went up to go to bed. Andrew somehow found a metal hanger and unlocked all the doors. He also changed his own diaper. There was a dirty diaper lieing open on the floor and Andrew was wearing a clean size 4 diaper (he's in 5's now). I don't think Andrew needs us anymore. He seems to take care of himself just fine. Also, he was completely quiet when he did all of this. We didn't hear a sound downstairs... and our house isn't very soundproof.

When I think that this kid couldn't surprise me any more, he does something like this. My boy is too smart for his own good.
