The great crib escape

We got Amanda a crib tent 4-5 months ago. It worked well keeping her in her crib. She sleeps better and longer when she doesn't have the ability to get out. Then, she discovered she could get out. She broke the zipper fully and completely. She was up at 4 am. We turned the crib to the wall. She figured out how to climb out. I sewed half the crib tent opening and put it in a corner. She army crawled over the crib and tent area. We safety pinned it. She escaped. We used diaper pins to keep it shut. She escaped. I actually sewed the entire zipper part shut with quilting thread (which is super thick). She actually started ripping apart the thread. So, we bought a new one.



Hope you're happy Amanda!



And for those who are wondering --- she can get out of the house on her own and has been known to scale the closet organizer in her closet. She needs her sense of safety to catch up to her ability. As we say, she's three going on two in many ways.
