the tale of a safety-conscious six-year-old – how approximately 58 stuffed animals ended up sleeping in the floor

Shortly after I heard of the June 24 recall of even more drop-side cribs, I found myself watching the CPSC’s video blog with questions & answers about the recall.  Because they come running everytime they hear sound from the computer, one of my six-year-olds, we’ll call him “Thing One” for short, was watching over my shoulder.

“Mom, whacha watching on the computer?”

I explained that some cribs with sides that go up and down have broken and a few have even hurt babies.  I told him that the safety experts had decided these cribs needed to be taken off the market and because of that we couldn’t allow those types of cribs at a Kentucky Kids Consignment Sale anymore.

He shrugged and ran off to the room he shares with the other six-year-old, called “Thing Two” for short.  I heard a big crash and followed to see what disaster had unfolded this time.

“Mom, I didn’t want all my stuffed animals sleeping in the baby doll crib if it’s not safe. See, it has a side that goes up and down. I took them all out!”

So, now I’m trying to figure out how to get a repair kit for a circa 1975 drop side doll crib… can anyone help me out? :-)

Elizabethtown sale locks at Noon today

Sellers, please remember, the tagging system will LOCK DOWN at NOON on  today – Sunday, February 28.  At that time, you can print tags for items you’ve already entered, but you WILL NOT BE ABLE TO ENTER NEW ITEMS.  DO NOT WAIT until Tuesday to print tags as Murphy’s Law nearly always applies to those who wait until the very last minute.

The volunteer and check-in schedule will lock down at the same time, so you will need to call Jen at 270-734-9543 to change your work shift or check-in time after that.
