Desperation ='s Innovation

here's the thing.

i believe that just because your kid CAN get out of their crib

it doesn't mean they SHOULD get out of their crib.

and just because they DON'T WANT to take a nap,

it doesn't mean they don't NEED a nap.

you are either going to think that

a) i'm a genius and i just saved your life

b) i'm white trash

c) i'm a genius but also white trash

d) a terrible desperate mother

e) just a terrible mother

  

are you ready? 

this is my invention for keeping your kid in their crib when they still need naps and to sleep at night.

warning: it's not pretty.

 

this is actually the end result of a few minor adjustments to the crib including...

lowering the mattress onto cans. aaahhhh. the many uses for food storage.

later when she was started using the corner to get out

i just duct taped towels in the corners and it worked like a charm.

she just keeps growing though. go figure.

so this is the latest addition. the crib bumper she didn't want IN her bed now assists in keeping HER IN bed.

that, ='s this...

and also this... 

 just to show you that she is still a happy girl even though she can't climb out of her crib anymore. she also looks pretty raggedy...ya know,to match her bed. 

yes of course eventually she will move into a toddler bed.

 but not tonight!

you're welcome.
