The time had finally come to move Will out of his crib. He was so excited, and I was dreading it.
At first it went ok, but then it got bad…real bad. It started taking longer and longer to get him to fall asleep, and then he started waking at midnight, 3, and 5. We were exhausted. And when things kept getting worse after a week of trying, we gave up. We moved the pack ‘n play into his room as a temporary fix. When he climbed out of that in less than 5 minutes, we knew we needed a more permanent fix. Jack was sleeping in the crib so we waited till the next morning to move that back into Will’s room. When we put him in the crib he got very mad and within 10 minutes had figured out a way to climb out. Feeling defeated, I did what any sleep deprived mother would do, I bought one of these babies. Yes, we are failures, but more well-rested failures.

Aww, the beauty of sleep!

Looks like success to me!
Wow not only do we have the same crib we have the exact same problem. Adam almost broke his neck climbing out of his crib. Luckily I caught him by his ankle before he got hurt. Where did you get the covering?
We ordered it through walmart. It was priced the lowest there, and we had it shipped to our home for 97 cents. http://www.walmart.com/Tots-Mind-Cozy-Crib-Tent/ip/4726174. We LOVE it!!!
God bless the crib tent!
Unfortunately, it didn't work with our crib design, so I had to get the one for the pack n play. Yup, Ceseley now sleeps caged in the PNP.
You do what you have to do!
