Finally! A full night's sleep zzzzzzz..........

So Luis has now found a way to climb the crib and get out. Our first thoughts were "oh, great! Now we'll never get sleep and neither will any of the kids". Every morning for the past week this is how it has been. At about 6:30 a.m., we hear little feet running down the hallway, then a cute little voice doesn't whisper but yells "mom" (in a tone that's like mom, I did it, I climbed out of my crib, here I am, bet you can't get me) then he runs off back down the hall to his room, which he shares with Luhanie and begins opening and slamming his door shut, until we were forced to get out of bed. By this time the entire household is up.

So not really knowing what to do I came across a few ideas, maybe some of these will help those of you who are having the same problems as well.

The first thing I came across was these: The Little Big Foot Sleeping Bag


No more climbing out of the crib:

The greatest thing about the sleeping bag and toddlers, is that it prevents them from climbing out of the crib. It will also prevent their legs from getting stuck in the railings. You can use the baby sleeping bag until your toddler is potty trained and ready to move to a junior bed.

Then I came across the Crib Tent:

This is the one we opted for. Being unable to wait one more night I went to Babys R US in hopes that they might have one. I was in luck, they did it was a little pricey but at this point, a good nights sleep is priceless and I would be willing to pay just about anything.

We got it home, and installed it, it was very easy to install and then the fun part came, letting Luis have his try at it. He absolutely hated it at first, I think his real reaction was "crap, they've got me caged in, but never fear I'll find my way out of here some how." He tried and tried, but had no luck. Jaidyn thought it looked fun so she climbed in the crib with him and they took their turns bouncing off the side of the fabric mesh walls, laughing and have a great time.

So last night was Luis' first time in the new crib tent bed! It was so awesome. He woke up in a wonderful mood, (quite possibly because he had plenty of sleep, finally or maybe it was just because we got plenty of sleep and we weren't as edgy) either way, it was definitely a life saver, and I don't have to worry about him getting hurt climbing out of bed. Putting him in a big boy bed was definitely out the question, so who ever invented the crib tent, we say "thank you, thank you, thank you"!!
