Emory's Secret

"Hey.  My name is Emory.  I'm almost 6 months old now.  Life is pretty good for me.  Except for one thing.  I have a secret."
"Shhhh, don't tell anyone, but you HAVE got to see how my parents are making my twin and I sleep.  Let's just say, I've never even been in an actual crib yet!"
 "That's right.  It's a pack-in-play.  We sleep in the same room as my parents still!  They are too lazy to trek us all the way upstairs in one of the other bedrooms.  Plus my older sisters have taken it over as their play room.  Toys everywhere.  You may be thinking, 'So What'.  But look closely.  This pack-n-play is jimmy-rigged pretty good."
"I know it's embarrassing, Aspen, but I have tell them.   My mom's back hurts when we are all the way at the bottom of this pack-n-play, so Dad came up with a great solution..."
"...paper boxes.  We sleep on top of paper boxes.  Then Dad draped this old sheet around the edges.  Mom asked him why he was doing that and he told her it was so they wouldn't loose any binkies or babies around the edges.   He pretty much is a genius."
"Maybe someday we will get a room of our very own and a real bed.  Although it doesn't really matter anyways cuz I just prefer my swing to anything else."

If it makes you feel better - my babies still sleep in their bouncy chairs. :) I tell myself that they prefer it!

What lucky little girls to have a genius dad and an angel mother. Someday they'll figure it out and demand a real bed. Just you wait . . .

It's a good thing Aaron went to 100 years of school, so he could figure that out:):) They don't care where they sleep as long as they have each other!!!
