Okay, guess what? I got the crib tents! I put them together and they’re already in place. Yay. And the girls were none too happy about this new development, let me tell ya! At first, they were excited about having “big girl” beds, like Mallory has - but once they realized I was going to zip them up and turn off the lights and leave them to go night night, they were MAD! I peeked in at them once, and they were jumping up and down, yelling, “Out! Out! Out!” Haaaaa, haaaaaaa! And all is quiet here, so I’m pretty sure they fell asleep.
Victory is mine!
And check this out. I was kicking myself for throwing out a 20% off Babies R Us coupon a couple of weeks ago. But when I got to the store, I remembered that when I bought all four of my carseats there, they gave me a 20% twin discount! I got the manager over there and asked if she’d extend the discount to the crib tents, since they’re pricey, and she said sure! So I saved 20%! Yippee!

Oh, Laura. That’s funny about the baby girls not being thrilled with their little canopies! They’ll probably decide in a few days they really like it, ‘though. I bet they were surprised to suddenly be enclosed. What a riot. They’re so cute and you’re such a good mommie. Hey, post a picture of the beds so we can see.
