Awww! I hear ya on getting the kids to sleep in their own beds. We have had lots of problem with our middle one, Claire (and bio!) not sleeping well. She is 6. Sounds like you did the research and tried everything you could. Nicholas talk a lot about monsters, says he sees them and is scared. I tell him they are not allowed in here and we have our alarm so they can't come in. Sometimes he regresses and I try to remember to savor those times when he asks for me or wants me to rock him like a baby since we never had him as a baby. Sometimes staying close helps them feel more secure in their attachment. I find Nicholas sometimes bugs me when he won't leave me alone but then I remember it's a good sign of attachment. Good job mama!
