We went through the SAME thing with our 3-yr old son... it started right after the choking incident. I couldn't for the life of me figure out why a child who was so good about going to bed would suddenly stop going to bed, and start waking up every hour or two.. screaming for Mommy! It went on for about a week or two, when it hit me...

He doesn't feel safe anymore.

The anxiety in the house had become too much for this little person to bear. He needed me to get a hold of myself and make him feel safe and secure again. Same thing here too, AH would sleep right through all the night time events... and accused me of making the whole thing up.

I know what I know... I see what I see... and when I stabilized myself... the kids quickly followed. He's watching you Shellcrusher... and he's looking to you to make him feel safe, secure, and loved.
