This will be our fall back position, I think. We're lucky in that he's not tall and the only things he can stand on in his room are little tikes chairs or his very low dresser. Either way, he'd be hard pressed to try to get a latch undone outside his room.
He would sometimes bang on the door for short bursts before he figured out how to open them but never for long enough or loud enough to wake Olivia up if she were truly asleep.
I don't think we're doomed in this situation just yet. I think if I just put a few more obstacles in his path, he may take a while to figure out how to get past them and that may buy us some time until he's a little more "reasonable" (bwhahaha, I know).
Raising toddlers is like the Cold War--you do everything you can to sustain the safety status quo and it's against an enemy who has more energy, is more creative and more determined than you are. Not to mention one who isn't sleep deprived.
