That May Be an Encounter

This will be short. This is a contingency plan in the event of my absence.
I will here direct the way my daughter's crib is to be presented. Please assume that if you are standing beside it, and looking down, the cardinal directions apply, as the other side is to the wall.
To the west serves as the head of the bed. When she was much smaller, the oppisite applied, but that has changed for whatever reason. Here must be placed the green pillow, with opening folded beneath on the northern side. Sometimes her mother places the pillow on the chair at her table, in any event, it should not be hard to find.
After the pillow is placed and smoothed, the small Curious George with Yello Shirt is placed in the northwest most corner, slightly atop the pillow. On the oppisite side, on the southwest most corner, slightly atop the pillow, sets Kermit the Frog.
Along the northern side of the crib, where pillow ends and bedding begins, is placed Cookie Monster, and then immediatly after, Oscar the Grouch.
After this, is a long span of soft bedding, untill we reach the northeast most corner of the bed. Here, Zoe should be placed. And oppisite her, in the southeast most corner, sets Abbie KaDabbie.
The next part I allow some creative input, or just let your mood guide you. There are two blankets in the bed. One, a soft pink, typical variety found in a girl's room. The other, a blue Spider-Man blanket. Choose either and fold to a square about the length of your forearm. If folded correctly, there should be four straight corners and one rounded corner for either blanket.
Now place the blanket cattycorner to the southeast corner, but not in a fashion that the blanket touches any of the railings. It should appear to be "floating" atop the bedding.
Now, whichever blanket that wasn't used is to be folded lengthwise and draped over the eastern rounded railing. Of course, if this blanket happens to be the Spider-Man blanket, please make sure that the visage of Spider-Man is looking over the crib.
Now, for the finishing touches.
In the bed one will find a Big Bird puppet, and Grover puppet. The Big Bird puppet is to be placed on top of the "floating" blanket, with the arms crossed over the chest. Please be sure to "groom" his beak, as it can collect fuzz in the bed. Next to Big Bird is placed Grover, with the arms folded over the chest. Big Bird is to be to the left of Grover, and the edges of the puppets, where one would insert their hand, is to be straight with the bottom edge of the blanket.
When the bed is finished, all lines should be clean and smooth. Please be sure that all corner characters are slightly turned to the center, as if their small plastic eyes were looking at one another from their respective corners over the expanse of bedding.

I hope I have been very clear, but please do not hesitate to ask questions. I will not abide mistakes after I've gone through the trouble of setting all this down for whomever will care for my daughter's bed in the event of my absence.
If I come home and there is a foreign character in her bed, or if Oscar the Grouch is placed beside the pillow before Cookie Monster?


Hell to pay.
