Sleeping

has not been so fun for Joshua this past month. He has been besieged with fears--of the dark, of thunder/lightning, and many others which keep him hopping out of bed and screaming for us to lie with him, or the many other excuses: "Daddy, I need you to wipe by butt!" "I need to go poop" "Change my diaper!" "Sit on the red chair!" "Is anybody out there?" "Please, I need you daddy/mommy" Sometimes, because he finally sleeps so late (11pm-midnite) and awakens so much through the night, while still waking up at 6:30am--he acts out at school. Which is what we heard he did again today at school. So we are reattempting sleep training for him again.
