This is Aubrey's favorite thing to do lately. She'll stay in there for a long time and make a little nest. Last night she had 2 blankets, 4 containers of toddler meals, and my cell phone. Oddly, those would all be really helpful items if you were going to lock yourself in a cage and go to sleep. If she'd brought in a US magazine I might have been tempted to join her. When Zach tried to get her out, she braced her little arms on the side of the cage door and could not be budged. So we set a trap. We put a blanket on the floor just in her line of sight. Aubrey can't resist a good blanket. When she scampered out to retrieve the blanket for her nest, Zach snatched her and off to bed she went. Take that Aubrey - who says 2 adults can't outsmart a 17 month old?

A little gross but a lotta cute

that is a lotta cute! It was probably good entertainment trying to coax her out of there. good thinking with the blanket.
LOL! I agree with Brooke, lotta cute! I'm glad you guys were able to outsmart a one year old.
hilarious. you get funnier and funnier, mel.
If only getting kids to do anything you want was as easy as setting a blanket out! I love it!
That is hilarious! You crack me up! Good for you guys for outsmarting her...it doesn't end, they just get more creative! Congrats again!
that is pretty gross but at the same time it is pretty cute. i love that she camps out in there! i also love that a blanket bribe was all it took to get her out. next time shut the door and see what she does :)!
At least the retreat is purple...that somehow makes it girly and less gross.
Glad to see it only took two of you to get Aubrey out of the dog house, but what will you do when she's 3?
What is it with toddlers and tiny spaces?? It's like, "you can barely fit in there!" Camilla's latest favorite spot is her closet... She climbs in there and loves to just read her books or do whatever while sitting there. Now, I don't vacuum in there often... so it just makes me wonder what's there. Kids!!
adorable. she is such a pretty little girl.
HIlarious!! I could just see it. :)
Loved the visual I got of the two of you baiting the trap with the blanket and then springing it . . . very funny!
