Okay I know I started the problem ; ) but my soon to be 5yr old has been sleeping with me. A few weeks ago I started the long and grueling process of making him sleep alone. The only time I get a full nights sleep now is when he's at his fathers house. At bedtime I have him brush his teeth and either pick a cartoon to watch or a book to read, I tuck him in, kiss him etc. Then I leave the room and he follows me. I've tried the normal bribe...sleep five nights then get a surprise, I"ve stayed long enough for him to fall asleep and he wakes in the night and comes to my room. I know at this point I should not let him in my bed, so I take him back to his bed but he wakes back up about every hour! Last night sometime after 4am was my fourth time getting up with him and putting him back to bed, I woke up at 6am to him in my bed again! Another fail! lol okay so now I'm going crazy what do i do? Should I lock my bedroom door for a few nights so he can't sneak in? HELP!
