In the face of obstacles, we must find new, innovative ways to succeed, making use of the tools at our disposal. Plan A doesnโt always work. But sometimes backup plans โ or backup backup plans โ will go the distance.
Some challenges are particularly discouraging, and sometimes a little out-of-the-box thinkingโs necessary.
Marooned on a bed, this brilliant baby crafts a clever escape plan.
You see, Bed Babyโs found himself in a bit of a conundrum. Heโs alone and struggling to get out of bed โ a bed too tall for a toddler.
Unfortunately for him, babies are teeny-tiny. Heโs simply not long enough to ensure a completely safe fall to the ground.
Baby probes the situation off the mattress, gauging the fall distance.
He quickly realizes that jumping or falling off the bed isnโt exactly the safest option. He just doesnโt want to risk it.
So what can be done? How can he exit the bed and ensure a safe landing?
Bed Baby assesses his surroundings, gauging his options.
Well, thereโs hope yet.
He notices the pillows draped across the bed behind him.
He proceeds to grab one, using all his might to move it towards the edge of the bed.
It ainโt easy.
I wonder if the bed and pillows are memory foam? That might make mobility a little harder compared to a classic spring mattress. Speaking of which, sleep specialists like Kathy Gromer of the Minnesota Sleep Institute recommend using other types of sleeping materials in the presence of young children. She does admit, however, that memory foam may improve sleep.
Presumably one of the childโs parents adds some nuance in the video description,
โbaby is learning! lolโฆ he tries to get off the bed but it is too high so he throws down pillows for a safe landing so smartโ
Thatโs a proud parent.
Slowly but surely, Bed Baby drags the heavy pillow to the edge of the bed. Itโs literally larger than he is.
But Bed Baby cannot be stopped. He firmly believes that his hard work will pay off.
The first pillow falls softly to the ground. But thatโs not enough.
Bed Baby looks around some more. Thereโs another pillow within armโs reach.
Struggling yet again, Bed Baby nudges the pillow to the edge of the mattress. Heโs going to be exhausted after all of this.
He pushes the pillow off the bed with both hands, using all his force.
Pillow Two lands atop the first. His landing padโs almost complete.
But thereโs more work to be done.
Bed Baby inches towards the remaining pillow, grabbing it firmly. Heโs determined.
He makes his way to the bedโs outside perimeter yet again, pushing the pillow off the bed atop the others.
The landing padโs good to go.
Bed Babyโs ready for initial descent.
He turns his body and slides towards the edge of the bed.
One foot at a time.
Bed Baby slides off the bed confidently, falling safely into the pillow pit below.
Mission complete.
Iโm both inspired and in awe. Although seemingly trivial, Bed Babyโs transition from bed to floor speaks a lot to his mindset.
For one, heโs definitely a hard workerโฆ and perhaps an innovator.
In the face of adversity, Bed Baby kept his cool and formulated a plan. He proceeded to use the tools available to him to ensure the completion of his goal. These are characteristics that will serve him well in life.
He might be a teeny-tiny baby genius.
