Child Lock

Our car has a child lock that can be used on the back doors of the car, so that the door cannot be opened from the inside. Since I don't quite trust Landis' impulse control, I use the child lock on the door next to his car seat. Sometimes, Aaron Scott or Josh or Caleb ride in the car with us, and sometimes their door is child locked as well. Lands has learned that the child means that the person in the back seat can't get out by themselves.

Landis usually doesn't nap, but it really helps him to be his usually happy self if he has a little bit of downtime after lunch. Today, I put him in his bed, read him a few books, told some stories and snuggled him for a few minutes. Then, I told him I needed to go to the kitchen to clean up from lunch. He was not happy with that idea, so he threw his arms around my neck, interlocked his fingers and said "You are child locked, Monni!"
