“My monkey climbed out of her crib”



How did this happen so soon:

It was a regular Saturday afternoon and I put my daughter in her crib in order to do some weekend cleaning. She was watching Despicable Me 3 and was very entertained. I stepped out of her room to get something from the kitchen when I hear her crying. It was an odd cry, not so much the type of cry like it was the tone and how quickly it was getting closer. As soon as I dashed towards the room, there she was, in the hallway, Oh My God! I couldn’t believe my eyes. Of course my first reaction was panic, did she get hurt? How did she land? But, after a couple of seconds she stopped crying, I checked her and she had a small bump on her forehead. I still can’t believe it, the last place I had left to control her is no longer safe. Not to mention my next thought was, how is this little 15 month old already climbing out of her crib! I didn’t have to go through this with my other kids until they were like 2 years old. Now what? Chances are, if she can climb out of the crib she can also climb out of the playpen but this is my last resort. I will get a portable playpen and see if it’s my solution. I can only sit her in the high chair for so long before she’s bored so how else can I accomplish my chores? I have to admit I am feeling a bit stuck and overwhelmed. Let’s see how this works out. Feel free to share how you’re controlling your toddler in order to get things done around the house.
