A Solution for Sleeping Troubles:
Once upon a time there was a little boy named Jackson. He is so cute that even when he is being a terror (ripping things off shelves, attacking the bird cage, throwing his food...) it's hard to be mad at him when he smiles like this.
Mr. Jackson is so talented that he learned how to climb out of his pack'n'play. He'd climb out, walk to the door and start pounding on it for a long time, at every naptime and bedtime. This, overtime coupled with traveling and time change led to a very tired baby who would wake up at 6am day after day. And not just wake up at the crack of dawn when it's still dark outside, but he'd wake up angry!
So Jeff and I spent a couple hours sorting through our storage to get all of Jack's crib parts. We get it home, build the crib and I put Jackson to bed with a sigh of relief that our unhappy baby days are over. I go in a couple hours later with Tyler and who do I find sleeping in Tyler's bed? Jackson! Oh Boy.
My lovely Mom sees me tired and grouchy and takes me to go buy a crib tent to solve this problem once and for all! We zip him up, say goodnight and tip-toe away.
The last couple days, the boys have been up at 7:00am instead of 6:00 {what a difference that hour makes}. And they lived happily ever after.
THE END!

Aren't Moms so wonderful and smart? Seriously, my mother has fixed many MANY of my "grouchy" issues with my kids :-)
I'm so glad he is sleeping better with a crib tent! We sure have appreciated ours too. Though Isaac finally learned how to unzip it himself, it just takes a little extra hair elastic to hold it tight now. :D
Yay for solutions! Neither of ours has figured out how to climb out, unless there was a chair right next to it, so we don't put one there anymore! That extra hour of sleep in the morning makes a HUGE difference! :)
