Since birth, my boy has been an awesome sleeper and I know that I'm very lucky to have had things so easy in the area but just recently things around here at bed time have changed.

1 week ago, just after DS's 2nd birthday he is suddenly refusing to go to bed in his room. We have not changed our bedtime routine at all. He is happy knowing that it is bed time and goes through all the motions as he normally would until he sets foot into his bedroom and then it's just crazytime. He screams and cries and is virtually hysterical. I have know idea what is causing this behaviour. DS is an excellent talker but when I ask why he doesn't want to sleep in his own room he can't seem to tell me.

We have sat with him in his room and read him stories and talked etc until he finally falls asleep but then at 3 or 4am he's, for the first time ever, walking into our room and getting into bed with us. We would prefer this not to happen but I'm not sure what to do. Today he wouldn't even go into his room for a nap, which hasn't happened before so he is now sleeping on our couch. Can anyone offer me any suggestions. As I haven't experienced that type of behaviour from him before I'm really quite taken aback and it's very upsetting to watch.
