Well we just started it last night. She absolutely loves being able to hop into and out of it while we were playing today!
Two times this weekend she tried to climb out and got stuck. Yesterday during nap time she tried again, when she was screaming bloody murder I went in there and honestly thought her leg was broken with the angle it was at in between the slats so I said that's it. Her crib converts to a toddler day bed so we did that.
We took all the toys out of her room...most were already in the den anyways and let some books for her to read. I also put a blanket down next to her bed as she LOVES to lay on a pallet(spelling). we put a baby gate up and prayed for the best. ..... didn't happen.
We ended up taking turns sitting in her room (like on super nanny --it wasJBs idea) and not looking or talking to her, but making her stay in the bed. After about four and a half hour she went to sleep(or what seemed like it) She tried everything to get up ... once I laid on her floor she got out of bed and brought me a pillow...considerate little joker! :) I said Thank you and pointed to her bed.
She eventually went to sleet about 1115(we put her in bed about 9). She rolled out of the bed about 1215 but snuggled on her blanket on the floor and slept there until about 415. I went in there with her pointed to her bed(she was standing at the baby gate) and she hopped back in bed and i patted her back about 4 times. and she was out. and stayed that way until JB took her to the sitters this AM!
Photos to come!

Wow!! What a task. This sounds very "fun" and I am glad I have friend with older kids so I can read about these things and know what to expect. You and JB sound like excellent parents. :)
You mean they don't stay in the bed??? Just kidding. sheesh. Not looking forward to that day!! That's funny about her bringing you the pillow.
i'm NOT looking forward to these days. Nolan know how to climb, but he hasn't figured out that he could, if he wanted to, climb out of his crib. my days are numbered, i'm sure. way to stick to your guns!
