Toddler Bed Troubles :(

I don't even know what to say, except I didn't think it would be this hard. I remember nearly 2 weeks ago he was jumping for joy in excitement over his big boy dinosaur bed and I had only hoped he would be that excited to sleep in it. I have been reading many sources and seeking advice from those who have gone through this transition and I am not having much success. I know he is only 2, but he is smart and knows what kind of game he is playing. Momma played the fool for peace of mind these past few weeks, but no more. Tonight after many unsuccessful attempts and prayer I finally had to leave him to cry, scream and bang on the door as much as it broke my heart. I am not sure if he made it back to his bed or not, we will soon find out.

Tonight I broke down in tears begging for him to stay in bed and I could see the sadness and fear in his eyes, but he kept fighting it. I guess seeing Momma sad didn't help either. Now I hear silence. This too shall pass. Just try and pass quickly! Please!
