Musical Beds

We have a fun game we like to play in our house with the kids.  It is called Musical Beds.  Here is how it goes:

Buy a crib (A) and put firstborn in it.  

When firstborn gets bigger, convert crib (A) into daybed/toddler bed option. 

When second child comes along, put firstborn in mom's old twin bed 

 

and put 2nd child in firstborn's crib (A).

When unexpected 3rd child comes along and 2nd child is still sleeping happily in crib (A), purchase a used crib (B) from a friend and put it in your bedroom, since the 2nd child is happy in his room and 3rd child sleeps in carseat for 5+ months of his new life.  

Break used crib (B) when trying to move it into 2nd child's bedroom so that 1st child and 2nd child can share a bedroom since 3rd child now wakes up at every little move mommy & daddy make.  Breakage results in purchase of crib #3 (C), which you don't take a picture of because you have 3 kids now and keep playing musical beds.  

When it becomes impossible to read to 1st & 2nd children in mom's old twin bed, convert 1st crib (A) into full-size bed.  Now that used crib #2 (B) has been fixed, 2nd child sleeps in it.  Third child sleeps in new crib (C) purchased after crib #2 (B) broke.  

When child #2 is well over 3-years old, discover that you don't have the conversion kit to transform used crib #2 (B) into daybed, so move crib #3 (C) into shared bedroom and convert into day/toddler bed.  

And then move used crib #2 (B) into 3rd child's room.  

 This game is something straight outta Dr. Seuss.  

Sorta like "Up, Up, Up With the Fish."
