My "Adam"

We have a little joke in our family. Everytime one of the my kids or my brothers' kids does something crazy or gets into something, my mom says "oh, you've got an Adam!"..meaning that my brother Adam was a handful from the moment he was born. One of my mom's favorite stories among many is the one about Adam crawling out of his crib and ending up on another street sitting in the middle of the culdesac....not sure where my mom was but now she can laugh about it. Today I had one such experience where even I found myself thinking now I've got an Adam on my hands. I put Jack down for his nap at his usual 10am time and then did some straightening up around the house. Eventually I got into the shower, anticipating that Jack would be up soon but just play in his crib if he woke up before I got out of the shower. He had other plans. After I got out of the shower, I spent a few minutes getting dressed and throwing my hair into a towel....I could hear him talking to himself on the monitor so I knew he was awake and playing. Little did I know that he was playing in his room....not in his crib anymore. He somehow managed to get out of his crib and was playing in his room having a great time. I freaked out because not only did he get out of his crib but I didn't close the gate at the top of the stairs simply because he was napping in his crib when I got in the shower. He could have crawled out into the hallway and fell down the stairs! So tonight my wonderful neighbor who is also a great carpenter came over and adjusted his crib to the lowest setting possible so our friend Jack will not be making any escapes anytime soon....hopefully. Also, for those of you that have been wondering where the pics are of Jack's foot.....I'm sorry I've been bad about taking pics lately so here's one of last night. It looks really good and he's doing awesome!
