Now You're Stuck in the Crib Tent, Sucka

Two notes in one day!  This is because there is an upside, of sorts.  I was so tired by the time I put B down for her nap.  Sooo tired and in pain and wanted to sleep.  I knew it was only a matter of time but of all the times/weeks/years for her to jump from the crib!  I didn't hear the thump but I heard the bang, bang, bang on the door and her little 20 month old voice yelling, "OPEN THIS DOOR NOW MAMAMAMAMAMAMAMA."  I saw her do it the second time (there's a hole in the nursery door where the bolt used to be but I took it out after we bought the house and never filled it in) and I didn't think she'd do it a third.  I don't know which one of us is, um, dumber!

So I dug out the crib tent.  After a snuggly nap together, of course.  But she screamed  and screamed while she watched me do it.  I thought going to bed tonight would be pure hell.  Ahhh, what I hear now is the sweet sound of lullabyes on the moniter.  Yippeee.  And the Celtics are on so it's a good night.  Cheers, All!

  • What a great idea. Either they hadn't been invented, or I just didn't shop in the right places, but when my youngest was climbing out of her crib, I didn't know about those things. Brilliant!

    (Cats? Suuure it's for cats, uh-huh...)

  • hehehe, the reason we own it is b/c we used to it keep the cat out before the first kid was born. Every few months hubby says, "can we get rid of this" and I say,
    "nope, we're going to need it." I'm doing the 'i'm right' dance right now!!!
