Dear Jacob,
Sometimes, you're supposed to live within a certain set of rules, or a limited space for your own safety. It is good to test these limits to see just how far you can go, but you need to be careful about falling in to the space where you can get hurt.
Like climbing out of your crib.
Dude, seriously? You're not even a year old yet and you've already figured this out? Gah! What am I going to do with you? I know, I know; this is just who and how you are. You were put on this earth to break down barriers and open people up to the amazing possibilities that are out there. But do you have to do it so soon?
But then, who am I to talk? Daddy and I certainly live by our own set of rules. We do believe in being kind to everyone, and in trying our best and hardest... but other than that, anything goes. It doesn't (and shouldn't) matter how everyone else lives, we just do the best we can with what we've got, and figure out how to make it work.
At the end of the day, if we're all home together, with full bellies and warm blankets, there is little else we actually NEED to get by. Except for you staying in your bed. So, for now, will you just "forget" how to escape until Daddy and I can figure something out? Please? Or, just go ahead and keep testing those boundaries, I suppose I should get used to it.
I love you!
