Why My Son Will Be In A Crib Until College

My son sleeps in a very large crib. Its really like a twin bed with bars on it like a mini jail. I know many people think he is too old for a crib (he is after all an old geezer at the age of three) but they don't know my boy.

On vacation he had to sleep in a regular twin bed no bars he had been set free from his baby jail. We shuddered in fear.

The first night at 3am I leapt out of bed with the feeling someone was watching me. There was B standing at the edge of the bed just staring at me like that little girl in poltergeist. It was very creepy. At least he wasn't holding a butcher knife or wearing a mask or anything.

The next night B came into bed with me at 6am (much better) I put my arms around him to snuggle up and put my hand on his bare bottom. I asked him where his pants were and he said "I went poopy mommy" Uh oh! I went into the bathroom he had indeed went poopy but instead of toilet paper he used every towel in the bathroom to wipe. It was a poop fest indeed

The next night was fine no problems no staring creepy kid, no late night poop but in the morning this is what I found.

Somehow he had climbed in bed with his sister. I have no idea how it happened but it did.

So obviously am not one of those parents who feel the need to move my son into a big boy bed. Not now at least. In fact I am happy to keep him in the crib until he is like um..... 15.
