heard from behind the gate upstairs: 7:38pm

Ben's supposed to be in bed. instead, he's trying to come downstairs and play with his trains.

hey mommy
hey mommy
hey mommy
what are you doing
hey mommy [in redrum-ish voice, I think he's trying to sound extra-sad]
open gate, mommy
open gate
[humming along to one of his lullabies]
open gate mommy
[more humming]
can you open gate mommy
boo hoo
[really sounding like redrum kid now, why does he think this will convince me?]

I finally went up and re-tucked him in, because this is the first night I was able to get Ryan to fall asleep deeply enough to go into his crib before Ben's bedtime. We've been keeping Ryan downstairs until his 9 or 10pm feeding, but I'm trying this tonight. I'm antsy to get into a routine.
