My 2 Years Old’s Prison Break

My sleep deprivation came back when our 2 year old son decided to pull a stunt by climbing out of the crib. We were pushing our luck by keeping him in there any longer as he is a tall kid. But we don’t need another free roaming toddler in the house, just not yet. The twitter thread documents the critical thinking in my head in response to this incident.  

The 8 Point Story Arc

1. Stasis – Toddler sleeping and STAYING in crib
2. Trigger – He climbed out of the crib
3. Quest – Converted crib into toddler bed
4. Surprise – He still wanted to climb using the frames of the crib
5. Critical Choice – Took crib apart and laid a mattress 
6. Climax – Free roaming toddler came for a visit in the middle of the night
7. Reversal – One person suffering is better than the entire family suffering from sleepless night
8. Resolution – Sleep training
