    Yeah, maybe sleeping with him in his bed might be worth a try...? At least you can take it in turns getting some sleep. Or the mattress on the floor.
    DS rarely cosleeps now, but he is a terrible bed hog and very fidgetty, so I feel your pain. But, he's great in his own bed if we find ourselves squeezed in there helping him get back to sleep - he's learned the hard way that if he rolls around too much he'll fall out!
    We have to close the doors as the cat will take up residence on the bed and DS hates that. But he doesn't get out of bed in the night anyway, just yells for us till mum or dad turns up. Anyway, when he does come into bed with me DH sleeps in DS' bed

    It sounds like the dummies are also becoming more trouble than their worth. Good luck with everything!

    We are having similar problems, with at least one fo the kids climbing in with us each night. It doesn't help that DH loves co-sleeping. I have gotton to the point that when a child climbs into my bed, I climb out and sleep in theit single bed instead. This way everyone is happy.
