I have never been quite so angry at an inanimate object as I have been at a crib sheet. Well, sure! I'd love to dismantle the crib bumper and anything else attached to it so that I can change you! Why not? I seem to be doing a lot of other ridiculous things I never dreamed of these days, so why not this? (It goes without saying that this conversation with the crib sheet is at 3:45am because, really, when else would you talk to a sheet?)
Clouds and Stars is the first of what I hope will be many crib bedding designers who actually thought about the fact that changing a crib sheet is a twenty-minute task that usually involves untying (and don't forget re-tying!) all thirty-five of the adorable bows on that crib bumper.
Get this: the sheet actually zips off! It takes two seconds and does not require swearing, sweating, or dismantling. The QuickZip sheet comes in a set (the base and the zippered part) and they also sell flat mattress pads to put underneath. (Oh yeah, mattress pads are a pain, too.) Clouds and Stars sheets only come in a select number of basic colors and patterns, but if it'll save me the nightmare that is changing the standard sheets, I'll take it. (Leave the cool design for everything else in the nursery.)
And I did. I bought the white set for my son and still use it for the nine-month-old precious little guy. Freakin genius.
