The boys have discovered a favorite new spot for playing in the bonus room. They love to play on the couch where cushions once were. We had our first crib escape last weekend. Terrifying!! The boys are still having some large overnight diapers that require morning baths, so I was getting Will dressed in their room while Will had Cooper in the bonus room and Griffin was in his crib. I had my back to Griffin while I got Will changed into clothes at the changing table and all of a sudden, I heard a very loud thud followed by a very loud scream from Griffin. I turned around and found Griffin laid out on his back next to his crib. I didn't see it happen, but he must have toppled head first over the crib bars. Will came running in and, though my first instinct was to run and sweep him up into my arms, warned me to not pick him up until he moved on his own. We had no idea how he fell out exactly, but I shudder to think about how badly he could have been hurt if he had landed on his head or neck. Scary, scary stuff.
Fortunately the fall has seemed to scare Griffin as much as it did us, because he hasn't attempted another escape since then. Just in case, though- we have added some padding around their cribs! And now the boys are having fun driving their cars up and down the couch frame. I fear that toddler bed days are in our very near future...but I am not looking forward to that new milestone!
