wasuup Report post Posted August 1, 2008 Take the wardrobe out of the room? What my son does is runs a lot he probably runs a marathon in a day( in circles), he can bounce on a trampoline for hours- without bothering that he was sweating. He goes to bed at the same time as the oldest 2 and gets up at 6am. When he was about 2 he liked to get up at all hours of the night and go to the toilet and flush it or stuff loo rolls down it. I don''t know what to advise they are all so different aren't they. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
