Mine sleeps with the door shut so when we moved him to a toddler bed we put a door knob cover on the door so he couldn't escape. He has a small box of stuffed animals in his room but other than that, all his toys are downstairs where he plays during the day. As far as his bedtime routine it's simply a bath (usually by Daddy but I do it if Daddy isn't home), PJs & into bed. Since his door is shut, it doesn't matter if he gets up & roams around the room. Hopefully things will get better. My best advice is to just keep it simple. Leave the prayers, stories & snuggles for the daytime when he's more willing.Jennifer Eoffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06278044366792303984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8583294251723123606.post-53964674703554192072010-06-28T21:21:11.374-04:002010-06-28T21:21:11.374-04:00Yeah, its time to start ignoring him, as rough as ...Yeah, its time to start ignoring him, as rough as it is! I know some parents that switch the locks on doors so they can lock it from the outside! Not sure how safe that is, but if he's escaping it might be helpful for a few nights! Good luck!

I'm still LOL!!! My comment ...Ha!!Ha!!Ha!!Ha!! I'm still LOL!!! My comment before I read St Spencer's was going to be....like it or not you have to stop being so sweet and be a little more like your "mean" Mom and let him know who the boss is, and it isn't a discussion, so don't discuss... because in a discussion he has an equal voice! Remember I went to "Mean School" and made all A's and you went to "My" Mean School!! LOL!! You and J need to be "more" stubborn than LM no matter which method you decide on consistency is the key. (I didn't say it would be easy and sometimes you may think there has got to be a better and easier way....they have been tried thousands of times by millions of parents...then they hear theirselves saying those words that they told theirselves so many times over the years that they would never ever say to their children "because I said so". {Or something like that!}) LOL!! Good Luck you can do it. Remember it's not up for discussion tell him, then do it. Zack'n'Jack's comment was good and I think that sounds alot like what you and J were doing before LM started bossing y'all around again!! Lots of Love MomAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8583294251723123606.post-91960667948108125922010-06-27T01:32:23.347-04:002010-06-27T01:32:23.347-04:00You need to drop the hammer.

Get the anger/bossy/seriously-don't-question-me tone in your voice. And if he cries, threaten that Uncle Spencer will show up. And Uncle kills people for a living.Saint Spencerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11897323051526732697noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8583294251723123606.post-66635232124634801692010-06-27T00:03:23.157-04:002010-06-27T00:03:23.157-04:00You can do it!!

It will be incessant the first night, but he will catch on quickly when he sees he doesn't get the response he is looking for. Good luck!Zach 'n' Jackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15711182889936203041noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8583294251723123606.post-22047197727398774082010-06-26T21:47:22.483-04:002010-06-26T21:47:22.483-04:00Well, my friend, let me tell you what we do:
Adam ...Well, my friend, let me tell you what we do:<br />Adam gives him a bath, gets a diaper and pjs on him, and then brings him to me. I snuggle with him for about a minute, we say prayer, I give him a kiss and a hug, and then I tell him goodnight. <br />Adam brings him to bed by himself, puts his blankets on him, says goodnight, and leaves. <br />It took a few weeks to get Carson to stay in his bed and not cry for one of us, but we just never went back in. Sometimes he would fall asleep at his door or play with his toys and then bring them to bed. Either way, we wouldn't go in and eventually he would be asleep. <br />WHY is waking up in the night?? Have you tried putting him back in the pack n' play and see if restriction still helps?Megan@Just For Me...And Youhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04137839353926719263noreply@blogger.com
