Who needs a crib?

When we come stay at my parents house, there is only one place Makinley will sleep: my dad's walk-in closet. It's crazy, but true. Any time we try to put her in any other location in the house, whether it be the crib, or the pack-n-play somewhere else, she refuses to sleep and I'm up ALL night long with her. The last two nights that we have been here, I have laid Mak down in my dad's closet at 8 and I've had to WAKE HER UP at 8:45 the next morning. She has slept through both of my parents getting ready for work....in the bathroom that the closet is in! That is how deeply she goes to sleep! Whatever works, right? It's just too bad that a perfectly good crib isn't being used!
