Hey Katy:
I just found a bunch of photos from the cruise a few days ago.. I am going to send them to you!
I should update the Cole sleeping thing.. it is better, not great. He has abandoned his room for the guest room which is closer to our bedroom. We also got two kitties (Smokey ran away) and one of them is his. He sleeps with her and that seems to help as well.

We got the alarm system functional and I have him arm it at night.
And lastly, he had a couple of good nights. I praised him A LOT. Couple days later he started in with the "I'm scared" thing one night and I stood firm, saying we were not going backwards.

When Buff is out of town he still sleeps in the room with me but it has gotten about 65-70 percent better. Does any of that help with Andrew? I'm glad to hear i'm not alone (tho I knew that, convincing Buff of it was another issue)

Hey Rene,
I just read this one...Just wondered if you received any good advice or if anything you've tried helped. Andrew is 11 too...he has some similar issues with being scared in his room at night & it takes him a long time to fall asleep which makes him a BEAR in the morning...I know he's not doing his best at school for this reason. Let me know what you've found out...you're not alone!
Thank you,
Katy
