We are at a loss for how to keep Ethan in his own room at night. We have tried time-outs, reassurance, bribes, tying him to the mattress ... we are out of ideas. Without fail, we wake up in the morning (usually around 3 a.m.) and he has wedged himself right into the middle of our bed. And by middle of our bed, I mean he is sleeping on my back (I guess there is also some sort of Oedipal thing at play).
So I have this bright idea that the beginning of kindergarten this fall can coincide with the purchase of a new bed. Right now, Ethan has a very cool bed in the shape of a race car, but it is small, and he is starting to lop over the edges. We go to the furniture store to check out bunk-beds. Ethan is so excited - the height, the ladder, the novelty - he decides bunk-beds are AMAZING and cannot believe we are just now considering one.
When I ask him his thoughts on this bunk-bed purchase, he is overjoyed, "That would be SO great!! Then the WHOLE FAMILY could sleep together in MY room!"
