Tracey - pepper would have to be better than tabasco sauce. I know of 2 families that dot it on kids tongues as a way to curb bad behaviour. I freaked out when I was told that's what they do.

Thanks for the advice on the electric blanket thing. Benjamin actually slept in his bed the whole night last night for a change. He has a knack for working things out. He already knows how to plug things in and turn them on without being shown. Scary stuff. I think I might take the greener option and just keep him dressed warm and maybe add another blanket.
