Madness, Miracles and Mayhem: How I Found Presley This Morning

When you go in to wake your "sleeping" babies up in the morning, you do not expect to see this:

Especially when your babies sleep in crib tents that zip around the mattress. One expects that a baby left in a crib tent, will remain in a crib tent until one unzips the crib tent and lifts the baby safely to the ground. Waking to find baby in the glider... really does not cross one's mind!!! (I know, Im "one")

Apparently when refusing to go to sleep last night and pitching her princess style fit, Presley found her favorite Strawberry Shortcake Character:

Meet Plum!

She used sweet and smelly (all strawberry shortcake characters are scented... and they stink!) Plum to make an escape route in her crib tent as seen in the picture below:

This "escape route" was obviously big enough for both Plum and Presley to climb up onto the top of the tent and climb down the side of the crib.

From what I can tell Presley... got down, got MOST of the clothes from her closet, diapers from her diaper holder, diaper cream from the container we make it in... and mixed it all together. This can be seen in the next two pictures:

I can't tell for sure, but it seems as though Presley was up most of the night. She turned off all the fans and sound machines. She turned on all of the lights in both her room and closets. She couldn't have been asleep long when I found her sprawled out in the chair (picture at the top) with her blanky and long sleeve princess top from two years ago. She later decided that she was going to wear said shirt, even if it took 10 minutes to get over her head (WAAAY TOO SMALL!). You can see the shirt in the picture below that shows A VERY tired Presley and Penelope at around 10 in the morning when we went on a family outing to buy a new Crib Tent. I think this is a good sign that she is not ready to be without it!
