Shrieks of laughter and shouts of "Tickle belly!" made me burst into the Salad's bedroom in the shore house. Here is the conversation that followed:
Me: "A, you are making too much noise in here with your brother and sister. It is not play time, it is nap time. I need you to sleep so that we can stay up late on the Boardwalk. Come with me and you can nap in the pack-n-play in our bedroom today."
A: "Mommy?"
Me: "Yes, A?" clearly exasperated.
A: "You want me to sleep in the pack-n-play?"
Me: "Yes, A. So that we can stay up late tonight."
A: "But not play in there?"
Can you see where she's going with this, people?
Me: "No playing. Just sleeping."
A: "But Mommy, why is it called a pack-n-play then?"
Me: "Uh. Um. Huh. You know what? I need quiet NOW. Let's go."
Dang . . . beaten by my three year old. Again. Dang.

You could bring up the example of parking on the driveway & driving on the parkway...talk about opposites & make your case for sleeping in the pack-n-play. See, I really am a genius sometimes ;)
