Code Red!

Want to know what can send two grown adults into a tizzy and make them scurry like ants? 

The sound of the Fisher Price Rainforest Soother starting to play s.l.o.w.l.y.  Run!  Code red!  Start digging through the drawers and find the C batteries STAT!

You see, we somehow found the magic sleep formula for both of our children pretty easily.  Rain Forest Soother + Angel Dear Lovie + Nuk Pacifier = Sleep Success!  The only problem is when one part of the equation is missing it all goes to "Hell in a Hand Basket" so to speak.

Back up Lovies are always on hand as well as enough Nuks to pacify a daycare facility but for some reason we never remember to stock up on the C batteries. 

So now here I am, putting Madeline down for a nap and I hear the dreaded sound of a sad soother starting to draw out it's tune.  My fingers and toes are crossed that it can hang on through the morning nap so I can get the girls dressed, grab a shower and go out into the world without looking like a total scrub. 

Thankfully the wonderful people of Fisher Price gave the soother different settings so I can switch to the music, lights, no motion setting and buy myself some time.  And I'm definitely heading to Costco so I will have a stash of C batteries until Madeline is out of her crib!
