bedtime battles

we're going on 3 weeks of the big boy bed - and i'm just about ready to reinstate the crib!! adam is the sweetest, most polite almost-3 year old you'll ever meet . . . but he NEVER listens!! he doesn't care what other people think or feel - and cannot be motivated by anyone!! bribes, rewards, timeouts, taking things away - we've tried it all, and they don't work!!

my little con is now sleeping in a bed room (aka cell) with a bed, 1 book, 2 dressers & 1 blanket!! we've taken everything else out because he's trouble!! his latest is pulling everything out of his drawers and trying on all of his clothing! grrrr!

last night i came upstairs and the gate, which we placed in his doorway to keep adam contained, was mysteriously down on the ground and the little bugger was in our bedroom watching tv!!

wish us luck - not sure how much more i can take!!
