The escape artist
The problem with cribs is that they were designed for kids from the last century and not for today's gigantic children who are in the 90-100 percentile of the growth chart. Jared managed to escape from the crib today at nap time. Not only that, but he managed to open his bedroom door.
The problem is of our own making. We feed our kids lots of food so they get big and then we take them to "My Gym" so they can practice escape manuvers on all kinds of odd gym equipment. It all seems to be practice for the escape from the crib.
A two year old is not capable of being unsupervised, yet they make the cribs for these small children. I think we should probably tie his feet together so he cannot climb out and hurt himself, but I suspect that "child protective services" would be called if we were to actually go that route.
