on leaving your toddler alone with the baby….

Beware. 

There is nothing like a beloved baby sister to make a two-year old reach new heights.  I did not know he could climb into the crib.  I did not know he even knew how to wind it up.  I found out after I heard her mysteriously stop fussing as the music from the mobile began.  

It was/is confusing to know how to address the situation when obviously her good was his intention and he did not, after all, step on her or crush her in the process.   (Though walking in on the scene was heart-stopping)

In short, no one’s spine was broken.  And he really does love her.  That it the important part.
