Nearly half a million babies (1 in 10) are born premature in the US each year which is higher than that of most other developed nations. This is the journeys of our first born son, Finnegan, who was born 14 weeks early and weighed only 1 pound 15 ounces at birth. Of our daugher, Korrigan, who was born a healthy 7 pounds, 7 ounces at 37 weeks. And of our second son, MacKeegan, who was also born at 37 weeks at a whopping 8 pounds, 13 ounces. Our continued adventures reminds us daily how good God is.

Who's there?
I woke up this morning because I thought I heard something...maybe Finn's bedroom door? But there wasn't another sound, so I figured it was just a car door shutting outside. Then a few minutes later, I heard something else, probably Korri crying, so I got up...and there Finn was, coming UP the stairs with a basket full of toys he'd gotten downstairs! Sheesh. This was a first and it scared me. I'm sure that 99% of the time, he would be fine, but I'm not willing to gamble on the 1%. I told him how dangerous it was to go out of your room without mommy or daddy and how he could have fallen down the stairs and we wouldn't have known, etc. Up until now, he has done really well being in his big boy bed (he calls it "Austin's bed!). He got up and knocked on our door once about a week ago, but that was it. Hmmm... The balance of giving him his freedom and concern for his safety.

can you put a gate in front of his room so he down get out? or maybe at the top of the stairs - that's what we have.
At the stairs is a great idea! I didn't want it in his door in case he NEEDED to get out of his room for some reason. I did warn him at bed time about staying in his room. We'll see how it goes tomorrow AM!
