Do you know how long it is going to take me to pick up trivial persuit???

Kaitlin'smom replied: little stinker, and ya he would either be picking it ALL up or at least helping.

moped replied: I would never sleep a wink knowing that he could get out and roam free........poor you!

mckayleesmom replied:
Gate him in?.... My kids climbed over those baby gates before they were 1....Mckaylee taught him everything she knows..


Those games were on the top shelf of the closet and he stacked stuff to get it...If that gives you any idea why the baby gate wouldn't work...

moped replied:
In the middle of the night????

ZandersMama replied: maybe a alarm on his bedroom door so you know he is out?

lovemy2 replied:
Oh my I would be totally freaked out knowing he was doing stuff like that in the middle of the nite and I couldn't or didn't hear him - my kids breathe heavy and I hear it

yeap they make those and sell them at home depot. They will make a noise until you go shut it off.

msoulz replied: motion detector

Maybe something like this? It's a good price if it works . . .

Calimama replied: Why are you picking it up? I'd make him do it by himself. He's old enough to have consequences for his actions.

BAC'sMom replied:
You can get those alarms at Walmart too. There are four in a pack and they cost about 10 bucks. There's a chime, an alarm and off button setting. I think they are made by Black & Decker. It might be worth a try.

mckayleesmom replied: I will have to hunt for some tomorow....Maybe I can grab some for all my kitchen cuboards too...

ZandersMama replied:
I'm getting them when i move, its a two story and zav is houdini, i need some way to make sure he is in his room at nite. gates dont work here either

lisar replied: gates never worked for me either. Them kids learned how to climb over them quickly. And the dog just jumps over them. LOL
