You will need to finish this project before the baby grows beyond the crib. That can happen really fast, especially when I envision how long some of my simple projects take me to finish. As for the sensor, you could also look at hall effect/magnets, reed switch/magnet, Ping))) ultrasonic (and put the whole sensor across the room from the crib to answer your question #4 about "he-man" baby). Your point about moving the control system away from the crib is certainly valid, so I'd look at using a Ping. If you put electronics next to the crib you could sew them into a baby-proof fabric enclosure. 

Both of my little kids frequently carry broken BS2s and SX-Keys in their pockets. Every once in a while they scream when they get poked by one of the I/O pins.
