On Saturday, Laura put Marie down for her afternoon nap. She came down and thanked me for putting the baby gate in Marie’s doorway. “I don’t know what we’d do,” she said, “if we didn’t have something to keep her in there.”
Marie appeared in the kitchen approximately 30 seconds later. She learned to climb over the gate. She has done this pretty much every day since. Sometimes once, sometimes two or three times, sometimes she gives up on the nap entirely. It’s quite inconvenient.
