Tell him we are going to take a bath now. Remind him we are going to brush your teeth next. While brushing we are going to read books next then its time to go to sleep. Keep the same ritual do something silly like one kiss for your forehead one kiss for each cheek and one kiss on your tummy now its time to go to sleep. Say I love you and i'll see you in the morning and leave.<BR/><BR/>The screaming may not stop right away but he will do less and less of it before he wont do it anymore. Just stick to a routine that works for your family. If its you he particular wants then let him sleep with a picture of you to hold till he can see you in the morning.The Dornshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01707326897114805219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2219104250659776105.post-43159592983423050372009-01-23T09:38:00.000-05:002009-01-23T09:38:00.000-05:00Let me just tell you it doesn't get any better..lo...Let me just tell you it doesn't get any better..lol. My kids are 10,8 and 5 and everytime I got to the bathroom they always seem to need me. So they are standing outside the door asking questions!<BR/><BR/>Please can't mama have a minute? And they do not do that to my hubby either!!! Oh the joys of motherhood!Stacyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11030614911383194576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2219104250659776105.post-8062742187605059452009-01-23T00:35:00.000-05:002009-01-23T00:35:00.000-05:00I am sure that it will pass eventually,I used to b...I am sure that it will pass eventually,I used to be a daycare provider 2nd shift and a foster parent along with having my two boys and I picked up a few tricks along the way. One thing to try is sticking those glow in the dark stars or planets on his ceiling so that after you put him to bed he has something to gaze at while he tries to drift off this worked well with a foster son once.(just be sure to leave his light on for a while to charge them up so they will last until he falls asleep) Also some toddlers do well with music set on a timer.My 5 year still has a pooh that is for the crib that it has a small light and plays lullabies(shuts of by itself) that he has had since he was a newborn that I have up on a shelf now, he asks me to push the button every night when I walk out of his room.Same thing for the last 5 years if I forget he reminds me.Best $20.00 I ever spent.It even came with a remote.I think they still make a newer version of it.I even bought a used spare one thinking this one would die but it hasn't yet.One more thing to consider is I had a foster child once that did really well with white noise,once she had a fan running in her room then there were no more troubles even in the winter I just pointed it away from her.See if any of those work if not I will think back to some more.((Hugs))Angelwingsbabyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17980154707386207872noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2219104250659776105.post-81147365762200053012009-01-22T23:33:00.000-05:002009-01-22T23:33:00.000-05:00I don't get to go to the restroom alone either, bu...I don't get to go to the restroom alone either, but P does.

I am sure that it is just a phase and hopefully it will be over soon. Maybe if he sees that it is not going to get the attention that he wants it to then he will quit. <BR/><BR/>The funny things kids do. They can be such curious little things. This may be a phase too? <BR/><BR/>We'll be praying for you all. :)<BR/><BR/>Love and hugs,<BR/>Stacey :)Staceyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09657418120443199657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2219104250659776105.post-85841158725354675532009-01-22T22:44:00.000-05:002009-01-22T22:44:00.000-05:00Yep, that sounds like my bathroom breaks...always ...Yep, that sounds like my bathroom breaks...always with someone else. If I lock the door, they pick the lock to get to me. What is that all about? LOL<BR/>No suggestions for bedtime...my kids were difficult to get to bed. It is a phase, but try and be consistant...maybe rock him or lay with him for a few minutes. Worst case...put him to bed watching a DVD. I know...I said it. Last resort until he gets through this phase. :) Best of luck!He & Me + 3https://www.blogger.com/profile/03692972824923390203noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2219104250659776105.post-45710649336032443642009-01-22T22:06:00.000-05:002009-01-22T22:06:00.000-05:00I know Owen started screaming out the blue a while...I know Owen started screaming out the blue a while back and we ended up putting a night light in his room and that solved everything. Does he like to sleep with any stuffed animals.

Lukas gets toilet paper blows his nose and tries to stick it down the toilet whily I am on the potty. Sometimes he even tries to wipe me. It is frustrating. Lukas has never been to get at going to bed we had to let him cry it out go in every few minutes and let him know we were there since he was like five months old. It is hard but it was worth it.Brandi, Dan, L and Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00853304622730536905noreply@blogger.com
