[QUOTE="MoonDancer, post: 186259, member: 5742"] Okay, wow. No bed wetting issues. I limit fluid intake after dinner, but he has a sport type sippy cup next to the bed. It is always the same amount in the morning that I poured in the night before. So not bathroom or thirst problems. The "Monster House" movie intensified the issue, and it has been banned FOREVER in this house. I think the lot of us could sue the creators on that one for not labeling it PG-13....But that is long past over, and he hasn't complained about the like for a long time. easy child#1 doesn't really complain about nightmares or bad dreams. The nightlight sqelches any "monsters" in the room ideas. He doesn't complain about the temp of the room or covers either. I've asked all those questions. We've done certain bribes - like I allow him to keep my favorite stuffed cow as long as he stays in bed. (Don't laugh.) It worked for maybe 3 days, but he still has my cow. The only thing that kept him in his bed the last two nights was he wanted to keep his play date with his best friend. But now summer is over, I can't put that one in play anymore. I like the "job" one. I think he might comply to that one. He does like to feel important. He always feel left out when the girls help me with housechores. (Yet, when I do include him - he complains and doesn't do the work anyway. Typical.) Maybe this will be a job he'll like. I had to chuckle at BestICan's difficult child's two people. That was adorable. Our room is pretty crowded with the furniture as it is, and we already have a dog sleeping in their beds on the floor on each side of our bed. With husband getting up in the dark at 4AM, he'd step on anything at the foot of our bed. So that's out. The only other thing I can think of is separation anxiety type from his twin. I had to strip tie their cribs together at one point, and he slept better like that. They shared a room until they were almost 3 years old. We had to put them in separate rooms when he started waking easy child#2 at 2AM and they'd be having a good ol' time playing around. Especially when they got into their toddler beds. easy child#2 now shares a room with her Sissy (difficult child) and the girls sleep fine in their own beds all night. Yes, I figured that the issue might worsen with the stress of starting kindergarten and a new school. Oy vey. I never really drank coffee on a regular basis until now. Dunkin' Donuts coffee rules!
