Getting DS to Stay In Crib...Crawling Out

So DS is 22 months. On Saturday he discovered he could climb out of his crib. The next day DH lowered it. Early Monday morning (like 4am) he climbed out a few times and each time I put him back in. While I was downstairs he got back out and DH let him stay in our bed to go back to sleep. He did.
Enter last night. He climbed out 10 times within just over an hour of putting him to bed and each time I put him back in his bed and told him to go night-night and to stay. This morning he got up at 5am and came in my room 4 times. I put him back and DH let him stay in the bed once (until I called him the Enabler) and put him back. The final time he got out, I walked him back to his room and tried to get him to open the door (which he refused) then put him in the bed, told him to stay and go to sleep. He stayed in his bed that time, at least until I left. Seems like making him walk back and not carrying him might of done something but I'm not sure.
So my question is....how do I get me kid to stay in his crib?? We can't lower it anymore so that's not an option.

Two other options if you aren't ready for the bed route (well maybe only one depending on your crib style) are to put the mattress totally on the floor inside the crib or to turn your crib around. The 2nd may not work, but our crib has a hump on the ba
