Chillin in the Bucket

I know I should invest in a pack-n-play or something. My mom has offered to let me borrow hers. I should take her up on that. But I haven't gotten my hands on it yet, and we have been spending so much time outside lately, that we have relegated Tirzah to sitting in "the bucket" as Merrick calls it until we can get something else.

I started off letting her sit on a blanket...but she rolls/scoots off of it and across the wooden, potentially splinter-inducing deck. The bucket isn't fool-proof, because she often tries to pull up/tip it over and has also rolled out of it. *Shame on me, I know.* It actually seems pretty comfortable, and other than just wanting to be free she doesn't mind.

I guess if you have to hang out on the back deck so that your brother can "run off his energy"...a laundry basket is a good place to do it. It keeps all your toys from getting away from you, at least. Especially when you are Queen Tirzah, and do not like to crawl to get them because you'd rather sit still and yell for mom to get them for you.

This morning I asked Merrick what we were doing on the deck. He said, "chillin". Not sure who taught him that...but it sounds like a good idea. I think Tirzah agrees. If you need us we'll be chilling in the bucket on the deck. ;)
