Really don't know what to do with my 2.10 year old. At christmas we moved him into bunk beds with his brother who is 4.5. (previously he was in a cotbed with barrier, he could get out, but rarely would before morning). He was never any good at going to sleep by himself but made a bit of progress since moving in with his brother - until about a week ago.
Bedtime is about 7.30pm but he's starting literally refusing to go. Keeps coming out time and time again, following us round the house if he has to, and only way we can get him to settle is by literally sitting on his bed. if we leave the room with him there he screams (not fair on his brother). Unless we actually gently push his head down on the pillow he will muck about indefinitely. So the earliest this week he's gone to sleep is 9pm, last night it was after 10, having been up at 6! He gave up napping a few months ago and I can't believe he's not tired he's just enjoying pushing all boundaries. He also keeps demanding various toys to join him in bed and I admit I give in just to keep the peace. Anyway just wondering if anyone has any advice or do we just have to hope this is a phase he grows out of? We're all knackered (he is up early as usual every morning) - today we did a long walk to try and knacker him out but he's playing up now and not showing any signs of tiredness again. Meanwhile his big brother is snoring away. Help!
