We're gonna need a bigger door...

[pyat]

So. 10:35 PM. Sitting in front of the computer, waiting for the Canada Day fireworks to stop so I can go to bed.

I hear a "click, click" at the front door - the sound of the bolt being drawn. I stand up, and I hear the bolt hastily being slid back in place. I step into the hallway, and there is my 2-year-old, in her footie pajamas, on tip toes, with a sippy cup gripped in her teeth, closing and locking the front door.

Time to get a deadbolt on the doorframe, several feet off the ground...

Uh. She's a very good climber... I'm thinking the deadbolt isn't gonna cut it. Coded lock, perhaps?

The screen door has a bolt she can't reach, and would not have the strength to open - I've left it on today and she can't get out. But a coded lock is definitely the next step.

She knows which button does what on the tv, and has started to figure out the VCR - she knows stop, play, and "hit stop twice for eject." If we did the coded lock, I'd give her three months to figure it out - and then where do we go from there?
