This attractive and stylish, oil-rubbed bronze door handle was (I thought) going to be the perfect style handle for ALL the doors in our house... Although attractive, it is sadly NOT ideal for tall toddlers. We definitely have an escape artist on our hands.
Fortunately, we've got dead-bolts on all the doors leading to the outside...

| Ha! Your plan has been foiled! |
Unfortunately, we don't have them on the other doors -- AND Daddy frequently forgets to use the dead-bolt (which will no longer be fail-safe after 2 more inches of growth... any recommendations??)
So, as a cautionary tale to all the soon-to-be Mommy of toddlers, invest in the slightly more complicated and far less modern round-style door handle :)

| C'mon Ma, it's hot out here! |
We had to put those u-shaped locks (like in a hotel room) at the top of the outside doors because Caden was an escape artist. They are pretty cheap at Home Depot and easy to install.
