One of the scary perk of living in an apartment is the height! I kid you not we’re on the 30th floor…
On Sunday, Mr. X got to spent some bonding time with Lil’ A.
Little that we know their times together will involved, security, cell phone and a balcony!
Yeah, Mr. X was playing with Lil’ A in his toy room when his cell phone rang. He left Lil’ A to answer the call from work and didn’t realize that someone already sneaked out of the room.
Couple of minutes later Mr. X started to get suspicious because Lil’ A was mighty quiet! He went to the toy room…the little monkey wasn’t there anymore.
He found him in our bedroom… outside at the balcony, just squatting down with a huge mighty ‘I’m-in-deep-trouble‘ grin on his face.
He had just threw Mr. X’s century old blackberry phone from work that he never use anyway outside the balcony! Is it just a normal toddler curiosity or this one just having too much fun dropping things out? He does this at my mom’s house too, from the second floor!
Later, security guy came up and gave Mr. X a warning about the incident. Oh believe me someone got a very strong warning and time out!
I couldn’t care less about the cell phone but it freaked me out to think that Lil’ A can open the sliding door to our balcony – when we thought the lock was pretty complicated for his little fingers. We had another sliding door with lock installed in the living room – for the balcony – but not our room. His bedroom and toy room have safety railings covering the windows but we didn’t child proof the balcony in our room. Huge mistake! So, Mr. X is stopping by Ace Hardware today after work to find some kind of child-proof lock. No, we better not gamble on “Oh he won’t do that…” scenario. I had read enough stories of horror apartment accidents involving children in this city to make me paranoid!
So people, if you have one curious toddler like we does, you better double checks your bolts and locks!
