Matilda is only 2 1/2 and lately when we are trying to get her to bed at night she comes out with "don't like my bed" "scared of trains" and things like that which baffle us as its nothing new to her. Last night she didn't like her pillow... weird.

We humour her... we say "oh thats too bad you don't like your pillow tonight, it will have to sleep out here with your dolls so it has some attention" and she usually will shrug and go to bed without her pillow. Or like one night that she was scared of her bed, she slept on a cot mattress on the ground instead... and in fact hasn't gotten back into her bed yet. But we just act like its normal and don't make it a big deal.

As for the biting, kicking and physical stuff... sounds like he is really frustrated. Maybe it is where he is at... Matilda started biting before she had teeth & I found out a few weeks after she started the behaviour that she had been biten twice at day care, only once was I told via written msg in her days activities. So once I realised where she picked up the behaviour I tried to talk to her (like a 1 yr old listens... but I did try to explain) but I changed her care & she stopped biting straight away. Dunno... that was our experience.
