Right before we went to Idaho Matthew had been sleeping great. He had no problem going to bed or taking naps. That all went out the window while we were in Idaho and he has really struggled since with going to sleep. As soon as we leave the room he gets out of bed and runs out of the room. In order to keep Matthew in his room, we threaten to put him in the crib (pack n play). He HATES cribs so this works well...however, it only keeps him in his room, not his bed. The first few nights he would lay down and cry at the door till he fell asleep. The last 3 nights he has gone to the door, opened it, and then fallen asleep in the doorway with the door open. He KNOWS how far he can go...and he will go as far as he can. :) Hopefully this doesn't last long...

You know, for the longest time Alyssa had sleep problems too. But we finally figured something out for her. We always have to say "we will be back soon." Sometimes we say "I'm going to go check on daddy and Logan, and then I'll be back soon to check on you." And then we'll go back in 5 or 10 min. later, and if she's tired enough she'll be long gone. If she's still awake though, we'll give her a kiss again and do the same thing. Worth a try I suppose. We've had to do lots of different things!! Hope it gets better.
Both Zaylee and Thomas went through a period of sleeping on the floor. Eventually they decided that the bed was more comfy! Sorry that Matthew is having such a hard time with sleeping. It's so cute that he knows he's not supposed to leave the room, but he'll go all the way to the open doorway.
We've so been there with Andrew before. I'm sorry he's back to not sleeping properly. You'll have to send him back to our house again soon. (o:
