Craig and I have always counted ourselves lucky when it came to Porter's sleep. He slept through the night at 14 weeks (8p - 6:30 am---YAY!) Since then, he's rarely swayed from that, moving into 12 hour nights and never complaining when it was bedtime, happily going to sleep. About a month ago, all that changed. Though he still doesn't resist the actual idea of bedtime, Craig and I struggle for about an hour each night to actually get him to stay in his bed/room. We've tried door knob covers...he mastered those in about a week, taking his bed mates...doesn't seem to quite make an impact, harsh words...sadly, he finds this amusing, laying down with him in his bed...occasionally works, and simply returning him to his bed over and over. Tonight, we've already returned Porter to his bed 3 times...and now he's crying in his bed, calling out for "Mama" and "Daddy." I'm so ready for this 2-year-old phase to pass...oh great...he's out again!
AARRGHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is why Maddox will stay in his crib until he's 10 :) Just kidding... but we did go through a very LONG phase with James, and actually he still gets out of his bed on occasion. It is exhausting, especially when you are used to putting them down and knowing they're down for the night. We have had to lock James' door and unlock it when we go to sleep - otherwise he will come out over and over again. When he's finally potty trained I guess we'll have to leave it unlocked. I hope that Porter passes through the phase quickly, but I totally feel your pain!
