So far we've got a 50% success rate. This means that one kid (Emery) has been sleeping peacefully in the new bed and the other (Gavin) has been moved to the crib in the guest bedroom. All three nights, we've given them about an hour in the same room, but end up separating them before someone or something is broken. Tonight, I thought we were getting closer. Emery was SO ready to go to sleep, but Gavin was determined to keep her awake.......stealing her blanket, jumping on her head, and anything else he could think of. So.......off he went to the other room.
I think the car bed is helping AND hurting us. The kids LOVE it, so they are excited to go to bed "in the car". The obvious problem is that we only have 1 car bed! So, I've been shopping on Craig's List for a duplicate. I don't know that this is the answer, but I definitely think it will help. Plus, I feel so bad at nap time sending Gavin to the guest bedroom while he BEGS to sleep in the car bed.
Emery might be giving me a hard time one day because she grew up sleeping in a blue race car bed. I guess I'll just be sure to put pink sheets on it! :-)
