Well, since the gate was such a success (I hope you are hearing sarcasm) - we decided to beef it up a notch. This morning, we took a little road trip to Babies R Us to find a crib tent. Turned out the tent was too big - so they suggested a stroller net. I found a double stroller net that just happened to fit perfectly over the pack-n-play. I tucked that puppy right underneath the 4 corners of the pack-n-play. It was pretty darned snug. She could stand up - but it took a little effort. Sure enough - about 2 minutes later, I heard "mommy!" and came in the room to find our little darling outside the pack-n-play and stuck inside the netting. Before she could realize she could escape, I faked panic and told her to hurry and get back in so she wouldn't get hurt (sneaky, I know). I also tried another tactic ... music. At one point during pregnancy, I felt God told me she would be a musical child. I also know they play music at daycare (she goes once a week) and she sleeps like a charm. So I threw on some classical and gave it a shot. Praise God - the kid fell asleep before I had finished reading one chapter of Junie B. Jones to Emma!!! I hope it's not a fluke. But trapping her with classical music could be our key! I should also mention that she now takes every nap with a onesie on so that she won't take off her diaper and play with the contents. Man - I hope her husband-to-be knows what he's in for.

That little lady cracks me up! I bet Aubrey will be like that too. She's doesn't love going down for naps. Bed time isn't quite as big of a challenge :)
Motherhood seems to cost more and more these days. What will they think of next??
