Musical mattresses

Toddler beds: Pros - lightweight, cheap, convenient. Cons - lightweight, don't last til they are 18, easily movable by even the wimpiest of toddlers.

Logan does not like sleeping in his own room by himself, so he often will drag his mattress over to our room and sleep there. Well, Austin is in that "monkey see, monkey do" phase and decided he wanted to drag his mattress over too. He sleeps with us everynight still but he still has his own toddler bed in their shared room. Once they got their mattresses all set up next to our bed, they weren't exactly in the mood to close their eyes and go to sleep, so I had to keep telling them to go to sleep. They didn't, so I kicked them out of my room. I told them to take their mattresses and go sleep in their own room.

Logan: "I AM NEVER, EVER, EVER, EVER, EVER, EVER, EVER, EVER, EVER, EVER SLEEPING IN YOUR ROOM AGAIN!" (There might have been a few more "evers" but you get the picture.)

Austin: "ever, ever in your room." (The monkey hear, monkey do syndrome.)

Dave: "wow, that was easy! Think they will keep their word?"

They grab their respective mattresses and proceed to attempt to stomp out of our room in a huff, well Austin can't wrangle his fast enough, so.....

Logan: "Austin, move OUT of the way!"

Austin: "YOU ELP ME!"

Logan: "I think we can fit a tow truck in here."

They finally get their mattresses back into their own room and they don't want to sleep on top of them, they want to sleep under them. Dave and I were laughing hysterically by this point, so I had to get up and get a few pictures.

This was all good and fine, until Austin thought it would be much funner to jump on top of Logans mattress. Logan was not happy when he got pinned underneath. I went back to bed...Austin followed asking for "ma-nahs" and then Logan came back, with his mattress in tow, to our room.

10 minutes later, all was quiet.
