You know, I didn't think I would come to this point in my child rearing career for a good ten years, but, I am really tempted to say that the time is now, I am about to take the door off of my daughter's room. In fact, I am ready to take the door off every single room in our whole house! (Not really, I need them to hide messes.)
Here's the dilemna, Kameryn likes to go into my room, her room, Cooper's room, or the bathroom and shut the door so I can't see her do whatever mischeif she pleases. Another benefit to shuting the doors, it is a good way to keep her brother out, or lock him in. (She likes him in so they can be partners in crime or so she can make him play with her.) Fun new trick, she likes to put objects behind the door so I can't open it. And, if she really doesn't want me to come in, she will sit herself behind the door. (Like when she and Jacob sat behind her bedroom door so they could eat milk-duds they got from who-knows-where) Clever, yet not so cunning that I still can't get in.
I am just baffled. I keep telling her not to shut the doors, but she doesn't want that rule to sink in; she will look at me and say okay mom, than wait until I walk away and shut the door. AAAGH! It wouldn't be so bad if I didn't know that everytime she shut the door she was up to no good. Isn't she too young to be trying to lock her mother out? Apparently not. Honestly, if we weren't renting, I probably would take the doors clean off! That would teach her (and me).
