This is funny (at least to me) :-)
I bought that nightlight that changes color at a specific time. DH said that P wouldn't get the concept, but I set it up last night and I explained to him that when it turns to green in the morning that means he can get up (on his own). He has always stayed in bed until we went to get him, so this would save me from having to go up the stairs every morning (or so I thought).
Well, this morning, (at the correct time), I hear over the monitor, "mamma, it's green". over and over and over. I had to laugh. I guess the reason, I bought it just went out the window...lol.

That would totally happen with our kid too! He's rarely gets out of bed by himself, even though we've told him he can (like "If you wake up before we do, get down and play"). We were stunned the other night when he came into our room because of a bad dream. Normally he just cries or calls for us.
