Hi Tracey-

My jordan has been in a big bed for bout a while now. The first 2-3 nights he slept like an angel... Then same thing happened he would come out 10 times... it gets frustrating but i found the more angry i became with him the worse he got...

Quick q? Does he have a night light??? What do you do when you put him in to bed...i.e read him a story or just quick kiss, tuck him in etc???

With Jordan we would read 1-2 books (little books) talk bout what we would do when he woke up in the morning etc then... Ok if you want to help mummy make playdough (what ever he said he wanted to do) then you'll have to have a big sleep so your not tired and cranky in the morning... etc

It took a few nights but if he went to sleep straight away we would do the things he asked if not i would avoid them all day...
Also what helped us was he loves Thomas the tank(TTT) (think from memory your Jordan likes wiggles???) we put the TTT bed spread on and pillow case... wnen it was almost "night time dark" (thats what he says now) we would make him go brush his teeth wash his face, give everyone a kiss and a hug good night then off to his thomas "big boy" bed....then as i said 2 books a little chat and kiss and snuggle in with blankets maybe put his music box on (still had a music box from when he was a baby and still loves it...it has lights on it) ... Also maybe try a toy in the bed, we use whatever jordan askes for (occasionally a train or teddy) they get kisses and we say goodnightto them and if he gets up or yells out we come in quickly and say "shhhhh you'll wake teddy up, he's being a good boy etc" seems to have worked as now he'll happily go to bed climb in get a kiss put his music box on and out the door within 5 mins he's happily snoring....

Also be prepared for midnight wanders to your room... Jordan does this we have noticed when he kicks his blankets off... he'll come in and straight away i'll take him back tuck him in give him a kiss and say nyt... most important thing is to act straight away so he learns he shouldnt be up and should go back to sleep straight away himself...


Good luck
