For the first time ever since he's figured out his doorknob lock, our son snuck out of his bedroom after bedtime. Seeing this on the monitor, we immediately turned off the TV and started "cleaning." When we "stumbled across him" a minute later, we told him we're glad he's up because we'd love the help cleaning. His choice was to go back to bed or help us. Our little munchkin helped his father clean the bathroom, then vacuumed the main floor on his own, and then helped me put away several loads of laundry. An hour in, he finally decided he'd like to go to bed after all. Might not have been the relaxing evening my husband and I had planned, but now our house is spotless and our helpful monkey is sound asleep. via /r/Parenting https://ift.tt/2tdVFRZ
