With all of the extra daylight (it's still quite light out right now--and it's 9:30), we've had to improvise with making a dark room for Abe to fall asleep in. Of course, for Neil, this meant duct tape. But this weekend we de-ghetofied Abe's room a bit, and made him some curtains with actual black out cloth.
We went over to Kari and Jared's for dinner on Sunday and Kari let me use her sewing machine to crank out some curtains. I bought the curtain rods at Lowe's for less than $3, and apparently there was a reason why they were so cheap. Oh well.
Finished product. 
Abe hung out in his crib while I helped neil hang them. He's started leaning over to the bars and trying to pull himself up. That's about as far as he gets thankfully.

but Neil's version looked so classy
What's the trick so that the boy will NOT roll over the bars??? This is a test!
We need to make some curtains for our house. We don't really like the blinds, especially when the cat tries to crawl through the one by my head at 4:30 in the morning.
Those look pretty good. Do they keep out the sun pretty well? That little boy is such a camera hog. He just loves to pose for the camera. He looks like he is thinking about doing something naughty in his crib.
Did you feel more at home when you had the duct tape curtains? That is SO south Seattle. Kidding. Maybe you were going for the rainbow effect like the carpet at south shore? (blue towel, red tape...)(we went to the pool the other day and that carpet is still there.)
time to raise the crib bars!
