Open Sesame

I noticed that Daryl had grown slightly taller recently. He used to have to stand on tiptoes so that he can reach the knob on our doors, nowadays, he doesn't need to. This is very useful to him especially when he wants to play with the door knob by locking it & unlocking it. Oh, did I mentioned that it's 1 of his favourite activities at night before he sleeps?

Today, I discovered that Daryl knows how to open the door!! After his evening bath, we were in our room watching his new Sesame Street disc. As the disc had finished, I went out to take another disc for him. As I didn't want him to get himself hot & sweaty by running about outside our room, I closed the door after me when I went out.

On my way back to our room, I heard Daryl locking & unlocking the door, then to my surprise, I saw the door opened & his cheeky face peeping out to see where I am. When he saw me, he went, "Jiak..." with a cheeky grin on his face. I was so surprised to see him. Asty who was nearby was also surprised as it's the 1st time that Daryl managed to open the door by himself. I went to tell Kel about it. His reaction, "Jialat... now we got no means to keep him in 1 place already!"

It then dawned on me that it's true. Previously, when he was being a brat, I would put him inside the room so that he can "reflect on his mistakes". Note that it doesn't work that way, coz he would be crying & screaming when he's inside the room. After a while, when I go in to "rescue" him, he would be so "grateful" that he would behave himself. Hehehe... Since he can open the door by himself now, this method would not work on him anymore already. Sigh... now I got to think of another way to discipline my little emperor already... Wish me luck...
