Our Little Monkey

Yesterday afternoon, I went to get Chloe from her crib after her nap. She didn't think I was moving fast enough, so she started to maneuver herself out of the crib. I spotted her most of the way and thought nothing of it when we laid her down to sleep last night. Chloe, however, is a lot smarter and braver than I give her credit. At 4 am this morning, I heard her crying over the monitor. I stumbled into her room to find her not in her crib, but standing in front of her cd player on the ground. I was nervous to put her back in the crib, thinking she would bounce right back out, so I brought her into our bed. After she had kicked Jared in the head multiple times, he decided that she needed to be back in to crib. She went right to sleep again, and I thought nothing of her acrobatics, again. But sure enough, at 7:30 this morning, she had different plans. I woke up to Jared sternly saying, "Chloe!" Without looking to the side of me, I turned to Jared to ask him what he was doing, knowing that we had put Chloe back in her crib. He pointed to my side of the bed, where I glanced over to see Chloe standing there, innocently watching me sleep. It's just one of those things that is too cute to get mad at her for.
(She starts her descent at about 1 minute into the video.)
