Is there an App for that?

Jon gave me the iPod touch for Christmas. I LOVE IT. It syncs with my calendar (which will be a good thing since it's basketball season and the boys are on separate teams), checks my email (only my personal email and blog comments. I didn't link my junk file account :), lets me read blogs when there's a WiFi connection, packs tons of Killer & Jigsaw Sudoku puzzles around for me, and plays music (just need to remember the earphones and move my music there). James asked me if I was spending tons of money on "all those games." I have invested some, but I'm trying out a bunch of free apps. I am looking for a grocery list one that will work on the 2nd generation - most version 3.

What I REALLY need is an APP that will alert me when Jayson is getting OUT OF HIS CRIB. He officially can escape without any bodily harm and without climbing down the toy organizer that we moved across the room. If I though life was tough before, having a busy toddler that doesn't nap is worse. I also worry about leaving him napping (with Jon upstairs) because I can't be sure when he'll wake up and let himself out.

Yesterday I found the wrappings of two cubes of butter - presumably from the outside freezer. STILL haven't found the butter. The wrappers were on my family room carpet. The cold cubes I'm sure have thawed and I don't know where they've been stuffed, stashed, stowed, or smeared. My eyes are peeled. So even though we can't get a fridge lock to work for more than a week, I need one for the freezer. If he can't reach it, it should stay attached longer.

So earlier this week Jayson decided NOT to nap, he just undid his bed, adjusted the blinds, undressed himself, yelled my name, until I decided he could get out and run the carpool with me. On Thursday when he decided that he would climb out, he first headed to the laundry room. I try not to smile at his cute grin when he rounds a corner with his Shout spray gun in hand. He LOVES that thing, but we can't have cleaner squirted about. I returned him to bed and tried to be serious and disconnected like Super Nanny. I was TRYING to take a nap. This sinus cold is KICKING MY TOCKS!!!! All was quiet for quit some time or was it just my wishful thinking. I finally decided to check on him. I slowly opened the door and in the dim light I strained to see that nobody was in the crib. He giggled on the right. I turned on the light. OH NO!!!! He had emptied all of his clothes from the dresser and was sitting on the changing table smearing Nighttime Desitin all over his legs. Apparently wasting a tube of Desitin is a right of passage for all my children.


Here's James. He completely covered the ABC Apple. It got down in the buttons and ruined it. Jacob slimed our navy blue carpet on the stair, but I can't find any digital pics right now.


And here's Jayson on Thursday:
