My son will be 3 in 2 weeks. He's a BIG boy. I have co slept since birth and have always really enjoyed it. He has his own room with a toddler bed. At about 2 yrs old or so we started putting him to bed in there and by about midnight he ends up back in bed with us. I have no problem with this other than the fact that he is a very very restless sleeper and very violent! He hits, pulls hair, punches, slaps, kicks, almost as if on purpose but when I wake up to tell him to stop or whatever, he's snoring! I don't get it. My mother is also a very violent sleeper and has always suffered from terrible nightmares,so, I don't know. All I know is keeping him in bed with us has become a nightmare. I'm not getting ANY sleep. DH finds himself on our little couch most nights. I'm awake a million times a night, like last night for instance and now I'm exhausted and cranky. I can't imagine that Aidan's getting quality sleep either, which may be why hes so cranky during the day as well.

Any idea's here? I don't want to just kick him out of our bed but he's getting a bit too big at this point. He still isn't sleeping through the night either. He usually wakes up once or twice at least. If we try to bring him back to his room to sleep in his bed he'll just scream for hours.. while we're sitting in there with him. I never let him just cry alone in his room. But we had to give up on that when my neighbors knocked on the door....

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
