The kids in the hall

Could someone explain to me, why we spent good money on a bed for this child when he'd rather sleep on the floor in the hallway? Oh yeah, it's because he's 2! (Yes, he is asleep.)


He didn't like the flash from the camera...

Every night we put him to bed in his bed and every night we find him here. We're not sure what the problem is. He has stopped crying when we leave his room at night but, as soon as we're gone, he heads for the hallway. We've tried staying until he's asleep but he wakes up when we leave. I have had very few instances where he's fallen asleep on the couch and we have been able to carry him up and stay asleep. He's not napping in his room either. Now he's starting to wake up in the night and come to our room. Last night he arrived at 3AM, yowling 'Momma!' I think he was cold.

I thought maybe he was afraid of the big bed, so we tried the toddler bed again and he refuses to sleep in it. I tried the mattress from the toddler bed on the floor and he refuses that too. He just stands and points to the big bed. He doesn't act scared. Jeremy thinks he doesn't want to be alone but even if we're upstairs...we still find him sleeping in the hall. I say find him because you can't hear him get out of bed but you can hear him breathing over the monitor!

Suggestions?
