I was going to bed last night, later than usual, when I heard Ben crying. Normally we don't go to him at night unless he's really freaked out because otherwise he wants us in there all the time and doesn't learn to put himself back to sleep. But his cry was a little weird so I went in anyways and was glad I did. I don't know how he got this way, but he was lying on his stomach and his legs were sticking out between two adjoining spaces in the bars. His little butt was resting on the bars and he couldn't pull himself up. I had to force one knee back through it barely scraped through with him lying on his stomach, but then i was able to turn him on his side and pull the other out pretty gently. I turned him around back onto his pillows, covered him back up, and he was practically asleep again before I left the room. I also pulled the bumper down closer to the mattress and stuck an extra blanket there just in case. It was very strange.
