Eastlie's Animal Instincts

Date: Aug 29th

All was going great today.

Things took a turn when I was putting Eastlie to bed.

If you recall,  yes she's still in a crib...in a crib tent!!

She's an escape artist and we had to take drastic measures 

to salvage her sleep,

our sleep 

and our sanity!!

Well today as I went through the 38 routines of things she wants,

I gave her the final kiss and zipped up the tent!

However this happened!!

I tried to play it off like the freaking zipper handle didn't just come off in my hand.

And I quietly walked out like nothing happened.

I immediately texted Ryan that my life would soon be over and sent him that picture!

I ran downstairs into my bedroom to get the video monitor to see if she had figured

out that the crib tent wasn't fully zipped up and secured.

As I was grabbing the monitor I heard a little snicker behind me.

O.M.G.

Literally it hadn't even been 3 minutes since I left her room!!

Does she check every single time I leave to see if she can pry that zipper open?!

Well she hit the jackpot today!

I drug her back upstairs and put her back in bed.

I pleaded and begged and threatened for her to stay in the crib and take her nap.

Well by the time I ran downstairs to check the monitor,

yep she was already crawling back out.

This scenario happened 3 more times.

I was losing my marbles.

Finally she stayed in her crib and laid there quietly.

Sweet I won.

So I stopped watching the monitor and started picking up the house instead.

10 mins later it was still silent so I checked he monitor.

It was a carnivorous crime scene!!

She literally picked the seams and tore apart her unicorn stuffed animal!!

Needless to say right then and there I ordered a new crib tent from Amazon!!

No way I can live like this for longer than 2 day delivery!!

I mean c'mon the $80 is for everyone's safety.

Like who else might she attack during "nap time" if she did this to her beloved unicorn!! lol ugh

Update....

Day 2 of broken zipper on the crib tent.

Ryan came up with this contraption.

She still busted out of it and came down 3 times that night to our room!

Oh dear please Amazon save me!!

Tomorrow is the day!

The new tent arrives

I hope I can make it that much longer!!
