@HeatherlovesKenny: A similar thing happened with my stepson. I believe he was 4 at the time. He would come into our room 2-3 times a night saying he needed us to put him back to bed. We ended up letting him pick out 2-3 books a night to put by his bed. We told him if he woke up in the middle of the night, he could look at the books until he fell back to sleep. I think part of the problem is that he was waking up and would try for all of 10 seconds to fall back asleep, and when he couldn't he would come get us. We also went to the dollar store and got some cheap little toys and made a "treasure chest." We told him that if he slept through the night without waking us up, he could choose one thing each morning from the chest. This worked and we haven't had a problem since!

I wish I could help but at almost 4 DS does the same thing. It gets exhausting. He is finally starting to grow out of it a little and has periods where he does not wake at night. I found that pushing his bed time back just made it worse. His Pedi had him on a sleep aid (herbal suppliment all natural) and even that didn't help. I hope your son grows out of it soon I know it's very tiring.
