Sooo i don't know if anyone else has had this issue so any advice would be much appreciated. At night after i put my son to bed i leave his door open & the hall light on, when I go upstairs for bed I close his door & turn off the light. If he doesn't wake up then and try to come in my room he will wake up at 3 am flipping out that his door is closed. Lastnight he woke up when I tried to close his door, so I left his & mine open and went to bed. Apparently for as klutzy as my kid is daily he is night stealthy. He got out of bed and walked into my room let's just say i almost pee'd my pants when I turned over one eye open look towards my door and see little eyes staring at me from behind the door humming. I tell him to close my door and come sleep in my bed which usually ends out with him sleeping fine or jabbing my ribs with his tiny toes so I put him back in his bed with no issue. NOT last night, I fell asleep he fell asleep then got up of course in his baby ninja way, and decided it was playtime. Went to the bathroom closet and pulled everything out. There was red tape in a box from when we first moved in, I awake at 4 am to the sound of tape ripping, an elaborate tape master piece from each door knob to my dresser and the walls renovated with wallpaper towels and washcloths. Put him in his room, of course after cutting my red ribbon of tape to his room shut the door and went back to bed. This was scary for me, as I have gates up and locks on anything dangerous he also has no access to any doors to leave the house but a frightening moment. I have to do something to make him more comfortable with his room, I wonder if all those mornings I woke up at 4 or 5 if he had been up all night playing...my child is a ninja and I'm sleep deprived...
