I've always closed Rachel's door at bedtime. As long as she was in her crib, I would open ti when I went to bed. Now I don't. She seemed to get up & come in with me shortly after I went to bed, and sometimes I want time to read or play games games on my palm pilot before I go to sleep. She gets up,usually around 3 am, I think, and opens her door and comes in with me. That works well.<br><br>
She's 22 months. If she couldn't open her door, I would open it at least a crack before I went to bed. If nothgin else, I don't wanna have to get up unless I really have to, so it's better if she comes to me. I wouldn't want her getting scared if she couldn't get out of her room. Luckily she can.
