For the past 2 months or so, Joshua has been sleeping on a mattress on the floor of our bedroom. He was getting so freaked out sleeping in his own room, he would wake up throughout the night because of sounds, nightmares and all our efforts to console, ignore, train him were failing. He wasn't getting enough sleep and it was affecting his behavior/mood--his teachers were mentioning how sleepy he was in school--taking up to 3 hr naps.
So when our friend Dottie told us that she let her kids come into her bedroom and sleep on the floor, we finally gave ourselves permission to let Joshua sleep in our room--on the floor. And he loves it. He's sleeping like a superstar these days.
Our hope is that in the next months, he'll transition to sleeping in the same room as his brother. It'll be nice to have the boys keep each other company at night. Hopefully.
