Ok, Ds1 has always gone to bed beautifully. Come 7.30/8pm if I had not put him up, he would go to the gate and ask, in his own way to go up. Put him in his cot and off he went.
Saturday before last, he stayed at Mum's so I Dh and I could go out. During the night, he fell out of Mum's bed (she only has one cot) then woke up and screamed blue murder whenever she got up to Ds2 or to let a cat in/out.
I understood he was scared and since then he has woken almost every night at around 2am wanting to come into our bed. He has been in such a state I have brought him into our bed for about 20 mins after which he is happy to go back in his own.
This is still happening occaisionally, the problem now however is getting him to bed in the first place.
When I tell him it's time he objects and throws himself down or makes an awful objecting whinging noise. I don't want to leave him paddying in his bed as he gets so worked up and is sick or wakes Ds2 up.
I don't understand why he wont go to bed in the first place all of a sudden?
What usually happens now is he falls asleep on the sofa with a cushion and blankie at around 10.30/11pm which I am not happy about as surely this is no good for him?
It's quite a shock for me as he has always been so easy in this department.
He will be 2 in July. Is this just a normal 2 year old thing?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Am off to bed now, quite late as you can see as I can't wind down and go to sleep without some time to myself in the evenings first.
Will check back tomorrow.
TIA.
