"I just climbed out"

Last week Melina mastered the art of climbing out of her crib, which filled both Jeff and I with horror. Melina was very proud of her accomplishment, but we were NOT ready for her to sleep in a toddler bed, bouncing up out of bed all night long. Then we discovered the crib tent. This ingenious device keeps toddlers in their cribs, and if you present it to them as a very special tent just for them, they love it. Melina is WAY into it. Last night when Jeff was putting her to bed, he was stroking her face trying to get her to sleep when she said, "please zip it closed." We haven't had a problem with her climbing out since. Maybe we will use it when we go camping to keep out the mosquitos - though I have to say it's a *bitch* to assemble (it was next to impossible to get one of the pole ends into its sleeve). I can't imagine voluntarily taking it down and putting it back up again.
