Alex likes to occupy every single square inch of his crib each night. He fidgets and moves around more than an excited insomniac the night before a big trip. Throughout the course of one night he will quite literally move the entire length and width of the crib. I am concerned for when he moves into a big kid's bed and is no longer contained on all four sides. There is gonna be a lot of splats onto the floor at night. But that is a concern for a later date.
The current issue is that the last couple of nights Alex has woken up because one of his legs is stuck between the slats of the side of his crib. He occasionally sleeps with one of his legs hanging out and over the side of his crib...but then rolls over without getting his leg back into the crib first and gets stuck. I have to say, before the rolling over and getting stuck and crying part, it is so cute when you look in the room and just see a chubby little leg sticking out.
Because of aforementioned thrashing, and you know, because he is still a baby, the crib has gots to stay. I would be all about just putting him in a big storage container with solid sides, but I think he might get a little cramped. So to rectify the situation we are employing a new "breathable" bumper. It is basically just a mesh bumper designed to keep all arms and legs inside the ride at all times...without the suffocation issue of regular bumpers. Which is a nice feature.
