And if the bed is in a bottle on a noodle eating poodle it's called...
We've been trying casually (but getting a little more desperate) to transition Campbell into the big boy bed. We've tried bribes, encouragement and even a little brainwashing...but he resists. He's not climbing out of the crib or anything dangerous -- It would be nice to just let him stay in the crib as long as he wants BUT the problem is that we're going to Lake Tahoe. In my last effort I tried to explain to Campbell that we were going to be sleeping in another house and that he's too big for the pack 'n' play. I even took it out and tried to show him. Here he is trying to show me that he does, in fact, fit in the pack 'n' play just fine. He told me he would MUCH prefer to squeeze into this thing than sleep in the big boy bed. Seriously!

He is his father's son.... "I can totally fit, watch."
If you get any suggestions, pass them along. Spencer is about to get booted from the crib. His current response is "NO! Just stay in Spencer's bed!" but he seemed more interested when I bribed him with a Lightning McQueen pillow and blanket. We'll see....
I would let him sleep in the pack and play "squished". You can also buy a kids sleeping bag that has a blow up mattress that fits inside the sleeping bag. They probably even have one that is Cars themed. They are between $20 and $30 and a lot easier to travel with then a pack and play.
This is hilarious. I had no idea that kids didn't like big beds. Maybe that's why my sister and I shared a queen-sized bed until I was 3 or 4. I probably did't want to sleep alone.
The best suggestion I can come up with is just do it. Take down the crib and transfer beds. What's the kid going to do--run away from home? He possibly will fall off the bed a couple of times (what kid hasn't), but the transition will actually be easier than you want to believe it will be. I think I can speak from experience. 7 kids and no deaths from the trauma of leaving the crib. The biggest problem is keeping them cornered for naps and bedtimes. (Slipknots work!) Biggest benefit to the transfer--it will save your back!
