Crib Tent!!

Soo 2 weeks ago we tried transitioning Liam into his toddler bed and lets just say it didn't go well...AT ALL!! He really liked playing in it during the day but when it came to nap time and bed time it was an absolute NIGHTMARE! 
It all started because he figured out how to climb out of his crib so I thought, hmm he is young but maybe he is ready...I was soo wrong, he would cry and scream and bang on the door, I would go in the room every 10-15 mins to calm him down and then it would start all over again until he would finally pass out behind his door or on a pillow that he threw on his floor. Then he would either wake up in the middle of the night screaming or wake up sooo early and not want to go back to sleep. It was awful. My son has always been the BEST sleeper! Never since he's been born, have I had a problem with this kid sleeping, even the first night in the hospital he slept 5 1/2 hours straight and I had the nurse yell at me because I didn't wake him to feed him. He's just a great sleeper and he LOVES his sleep. So this situation just continued to frustrate me more and more. 
I gave it 2 weeks, I hoped and prayed that something would happen and he would get used to the bed and go to sleep nice and easy and calm like he use to.. :( it didnt happen. 
This week I decided we had to go back to the crib, although I was terrified he would continue to climb out and possibly hurt himself, we had to go back to it. So I lined the floor all around his bed with pillows and we went back to the crib. We still had the climbing out and crying at the door and falling asleep on pillows on the floor but I was able to move him in his crib and he would sleep all night. 
I did ALOT of research on what to do and Wednesday I order a Crib Tent from Amazon.com and had it delivered the next day. After all the research I had done and hundreds of reviews I read I was convinced that this would save my sanity and keep my baby safe and give him his sleep back. 

Last night was the first time using it, he cried for a little but within a half hour of laying him down he was sound asleep in his crib, and didnt wake up until 9am!!! HALLELUJAH!! I would say it was a success!! 
But wait it gets better...tonight I laid him down, I heard him fuss a little as I left the room, I walked to the den and back and no noises coming from his room. no crying, whining, fussing, not a single noise coming from his room other than his bedtime music!!! Thats what I call a successful night and back to normal bedtime!!
Now I just pray that I didn't jinx myself and celebrate too soon lol
