Alex keeps getting caught in his crib slats. I’ll come in to him crying, and see him with one (or both!) leg stuck in between two slats. Jammed in there, a few inches above the mattress so he can’t quite sit down properly. He’s slumped over, crying, and his leg is stuck. It’s so pathetic. I figured it was because he was attempting to climb out.
Today, I realized I was right. Alex started climbing up the side of his play pen. How someone so small can be so strong is amazing. Oh dear, I think Alex is a climber!
Maggie has done this a few times, and once I didn’t even realize it and tried to pick her up and ooooh man, I felt so bad. Their little legs are just the right size (or wrong size, actually!)
It is amazing how strong they are. Buddy does this too! Unfortunately, I have no advice; this is my first time with this too! We can commiserate together.
My 2 girls climbed out of their cribs at a very early age too. Then they proceeded to try to teach their little brother, who was very content to stay in his crib, to climb out too. The girls were 2 and 3 years old at the time. That was the last time I left them alone with him!!
