We've had our crib tents for a week or two and the girls love them. Their favorite storybook is Farmyard Tales which takes place on "Apple Tree Farm" about "Poppy, Sam and a dog called Rusty" . (turn the pages and you can look inside the book!)

There is one story about Poppy and Sam, the children who live on the farm, which involves them camping in a tent. So, I told the girls we were getting tents like Poppy and Sam. They completely bought into it and now they love to "camp out" like Apple Tree Farm. One day, we will bring out the real tent and have a camp out in the back yard. Natalie and Abby will love it!
The most important thing, of course, is that Natalie and Abby are now safe and sound. It also means we can keep them in their cribs until they literally don't fit anymore. And, Mommy loves that!

Way to go Johlene! I'm with you on the baby jail.
Kennedy is in a toddler bed at her home now and I keep her in a portable crib when she stays here and I worry about the day she climbs out.
Perhaps you could decorate them sort of like a castle? Alladin? Eliza started climbing out of her crib when she was two, but her crib thankfully has a low, low setting for the mattress so when I took the rail off, the fall to the floor was about 6 inches.
