Organize Your Crib

And by that I mean the baby crib. Lovely always has a few books and toys in her bed with her when she sleeps which I’m not sure is a good idea, especially when she wakes up with an imprint of a mini spatula on her cheek. A few months ago I read about a blogger who had a shelf next to her baby’s crib where she put toys and books for him to play with when he woke up. I wracked my brain trying to figure out a way to implement the concept without installing a shelf or buying a new piece of furniture and look what I came up with!

I’m in love and so is Lovely! It gives her lots of ammunition when Persistence wants to sleep in instead of getting Lovely out of her crib in the morning. From what I’ve heard she has a good aim with a board book.

I keep a hand towel under the basket to keep it from rubbing on the crib. It works really well because I can move the basket while she’s going to sleep if I need to and then sneak in and put it back before she wakes up. I think I’m going to put a puzzle in it for her tonight.

I always have her help me put away all the toys and books up when I go in to get her. Now that I think of it I’m going to have her start straightening her pillows and blankets too. We must start those Smart Habits early mustn’t we?
