I've Resorted to Spying On My Kid

After the success of night one in the big boy bed I really had my hopes up for night two. Unfortunately the 2 minutes of crying we had on night one turned into 45 minutes of crying on night two. Throw in a bunch of pounding and banging noises coupled with being out of wine ( I KNOW! You should ALWAYS have an extra bottle on hand for nights likes this) and our evening was far from relaxing. I could only imagine what my little trouble maker was up to behind the closed door. As the pounding and screaming got louder I could not help but wish I had a video monitor to spy on the little monkey.
This is where fate ( Or luck. But I like to think it was fate)  takes over. Kids Woot (a daily deal website) had the  Motorola Digital Video Baby Monitor as their deal of the day for $59.00 (it is usually $89.00) so I snatched one up.

I know some of you are probably thinking this is a bit extreme but I happen to have a toddler that can't be trusted. He is sneaky and quick. And he is so darn cute that you forget how sneaky and quick he is!

Example-
We are working on not going into the street when we play outside. Drake knows he can't go in the street by himself but he pushes the limits. He stands with the tip of shoes as the very end of the driveway and looks at me with that testing smile. I say "No" he looks me straight in the eye and says "Yes" and runs into the street.

Sneaky and quick are his weapons of choice and he uses them very well.

So anyways, now with my spy cam I can keep an eye on all his little shenanigans.

Plus think how awesome the video monitor will be when he is a teenager!!

I'm kidding, I'm kidding!!

But really how AWESOME would it be for a teenager ?!?

We are watching you Drake!
