Rapid return- tell me it gets easier!!

[milkysmum]

So a few nights ago we took ds (2.4years) cot sides off and he is now in toddler bed. What a nightmare! he just keeps coming out of his room every 30 seconds like it is some hillarous game. last night I sat at the top of the stairs returning him quitely to bed for bloody hours and tonight here I am again- I must have returned him 50 times already! any words of wisdom out there from my fellow mumsneters?

What about a stair gate on his door?it might not be as much fun for him then.

I am thinking stair gate myself this very minute! I do think he would just scream at the gate though and drive his dd (age 5) absolutely mad!

Well, yes, possibly .

We're doing this tomorrow - eek. DH is off to the shed to get the stair gate in a moment.

Stair Gate really helps They can be stubborn though!

Stay calm! He will surely cotton on eventually!

oh dear we caved in and put his cot side back on! he seemed very happy after that and went straight to sleep
