Necessity is the Mother of all Invention

C has to have 2 things on/in her bed with her every night before she'll go to sleep: (1) books; and (2) a sippy cup of water. She's been this way since she was 15 months old. Fast forward to a few months ago - C got a "bed tent" for Christmas. She LOVES it. Its been on her bed since the day after Christmas.

However, the bed tent material is super slippery which makes keeping her books and her sippy cup in her bed, right next to her, almost impossible. Last night when J went to check on her he found this - the most awesome contraption ever.



What we have here is a regular everyday blue hanger, paired with a pink "D" ring belt, ingeniously looped into the sippy cup and effectively lassoed around the hanger. The contraption is then held up by strategically placing the hook of the hanger in the ultra-convenient pocket of the bed tent. And, as a bonus - the weight of the sippy cup is holding her book in place.

You just wait - in 15 years you'll be flipping through channels on a Sunday morning and WHAM! you'll see C, selling her own creation and starring in her very own infomercial. She's totally going to make us rich.
