haha, LOVE it! This reminds me of my youngest, a two year old girl that instead of naming Meadow, we should have named Tornado. haha

When my daughter was born, we got the crib tent to keep the cats out. By 2 years old she had figured out how to undo all the velcro around the crib and collapse the tent on herself. We thought we’d try it on our son, too. He turns 2 this week and last week he reached around the railing to unzip the dang thing. No wonder my kids are in bug kid beds by 2 years old. On the plus side, all their books are in the bedroom, and they love to read/look at them.

Duct Tape. It fixes everything!

You lucky woman – you made it to 3 years! My little Dude climbed out of his crib at 9 months old . . . he had one of those convertible cribs with a dresser attached to one end. I went in there, and he was standing on the dresser! Crib disassembled and reassembled as bed . . . portable bed rail added to side of bed. Then he got tall enough to open the door. So we had to turn the handle around so the lock part was on the outside in the hall . . . we locked him in from the outside or he woulda been running around the house at all hours of the night!

Good luck with that net

Apparently, I was climbing out of my playpen before I could walk. It looks like you are in for an adventure!

Playing hide and seek works GREAT. Send them to hide and tell them you’ll find them. You can get a whole cup of coffee down and a magazine read if they are gullible enough. Just remember to yell out every once in a while… “I’m looking!”

Unfortunately they outgrow that too, but by that time they WANT to go to their rooms…

Don’t ask how I know this technique. My lips are sealed.

The youngest of our seven were little escape artists and being the youngest in a large family, weren’t always on my radar when they bailed out (I had put them down for naps, after all!). I didn’t have to time to sit/stand there and watch them go to sleep and didn’t want to spank them everyday for who knows how long… So, I found in my closet the sash on my fluffy yellow robe, tied it to the ankle and the far corner of the crib. It was too short to strangle them, but long enough to give them full crib range, and they couldn’t swing the leg up over the side. Staying in bed for a nap was no longer an issue, what a relief! Our youngest, however, did become an expert at untying knots and has loved puzzles ever since!

Been there. That net won’t last. I suggest heading to Home Depot for some rebar, welding tools and concrete.

Crib tent worked for us but the older 2 weren’t willing to unzip it – I’m not sure about yours!!
