Lesson learned

While I was teaching pilates last month, the boys were being loud and crazy (as they tend to be while getting ready for bed), while Brady was trying to get Aubryn to sleep and Brady getting frustrated said to the boys something along the lines of, it hard trying to get her to sleep and the boys keep waking her up, so if they don't be quiet, they will have to put her to sleep. They were excited to accept the challenge. Carter sang to her for quite a while as Bryce and Carter both stacked blanket upon blanket upon stuffed animal on her. Much to Brady's amazement, she did go to sleep after 20 or so minutes. The boys did say how hard it was and I've even heard them remind the other at times, "shhhh... quiet or we'll have to put her back to sleep!"
Coming home that night to this....

... was interesting to say the least. Glad she didn't suffocate and that red stuffed dog, "Clifford," is about 5 times her size...

When I took off the stuffed animals and blanket and put them on the other side of the crib...

Seriously, all of that was on her and the picture doesn't even do it justice. Oh well... nicely done boys.
