Sleeping

For a few weeks now, Timmy has had troubles getting to sleep at night.  I don't know if we don't have enough of a routine for him or what the problem is.  He will lay down in his bed, say he'll be a good boy and go to sleep, and then promptly get out of bed the second you close the door.  He then comes to the door, lays down and proceeds to yell under the door.  He yells things like "No go to bed!", "I wanna get dressed!", or "Open the door!!".

Yesterday he got a bath (because he'd been playing in the dirt) and then we played with him a little bit on our bed before we sent him off to bed.  He got into bed just fine and then started his little routine...which only lasted about five minutes.  He didn't take a nap yesterday because when we got home from church and the zoo, Bud got him too excited and then he didn't sleep.  Anyway, so after five minutes the noises stopped and we thought that was pretty good.

About two hours later we heard him start to cry and ask for help, so Erik went in to check on him.  Turns out he had fallen asleep on the floor in front of the door and when he woke up he didn't know where he was.  What a silly boy!
