Ok, so the new rooms just proved to be a lot of work for Roger. This is night #2 of Joseph and some serious fighting at bedtime. We are at a loss. We have no more ideas. We have no more patience. We've bribed, we've disciplined, we've been insanely patient, we've showered with love... repeat. He is such a sweet boy - during the day. Mention anything about a nap, bedtime, or being tired and this little monster starts to come out. Honestly he scares me when he gets like this. He's an entirely different person. God help me. I don't know what else to do. I need patience. Jesus give me that brilliant idea that will help him sleep. Better yet Lord, just MAKE HIM SLEEP. I'm begging you Lord. If I didn't know any better I would think that something bad happened to him at night that made him scared to sleep. He's never been away from us at night though. He has had some bad dreams, but I'm pretty sure he wasn't sleeping well before they started. He says sleeping is "a bad idea" He refuses to admit he's tired. It's like asking a thief if they just stole "um, who me? No, no, no I don't do that" I don't understand why he thinks sleeping is so wrong. Well, we're trading off now. I need a break. God help us.

Oh we have been there with months of the bedtime battles. I am so sorry! It is not easy and not fun for anyone. I hope you are able to find something that works OR at least get a nap yourself!
Wow. I'm so sorry, Val!
Sounds like a major challenge. He should be glad he has such kind parents! :)
