@mediagirl: no but i am so sorry you are at this point. I sleep trained my DD so I have nothing against it by I can't imagine how hard it is at her age when she is so verbal.

Have you read Happy Sleep Habits Happy Child? It has some resources for dealing with sleep issues in toddlers and preschoolers. I really like his approach to sleep issues.

Kind of? For the last year my son (now 4) will go through spurts of not wanting to go to bed. Sometimes it lasts a few nights, sometimes it lasts weeks. We are going through one now and I'm exhausted.We were taking things away every time he got out of bed but it doesn't seem to be working anymore. I found a bedtime routine chart that I am going to implement, hopefully it works. He loves getting new Lego sets so that should be a good incentive.

I feel like we are in a constant cycle of sleep training our 3-almost-4 year old. He's always been a crappy sleeper, but we worked really hard and got him sleeping through the night in his own bed. A month later, baby sister was born and it was all out the window. Our daughter is almost 5 months and he's still waking up at least once and begging my husband to sleep with him in his bed. My husband usually gives in. I swear he's going to keep this up until puberty!
