Drips and a green wall

Braden continues to try and sleep in the hall almost every night! We have started a reward system where he gets a star for staying in his bed. The other night he had a really cute talk with Brian. He said that he didn't want to sleep in his room because there was a noise "up there." (In the ceiling)- We figure maybe it's the ac in the attic. So then he continued to tell Brian that maybe if his walls were green or yellow he'd want to stay in his bed (his walls are red). Now remember, a few posts back he said if he had a new bed he'd stay in it. We still don't know what to do, but it's cute how he's trying to come up with all these excuses...and NO, we are NOT going to paint his room again.
A couple nights later (and yes, he is STILL getting out and sleeping in the hall on the floor) he was crying. Brian went to check on him and he said he didn't like the drips in his eyes. He asked how to get the drips away and Brian said, "if you stop crying there won't be anymore 'drips' aka tears."

There must be something going around - Kellen's having trouble going to sleep at night, too. He comes up with all kinds of excuses as to why he can't go to sleep that mostly boil down to "I'm just having a hard time." For some reason, turning on a music CD (must be a new-to-Kellen CD every night) and giving him a tiny box of raisins often does the trick! "Drips in his eyes" - precious! :)
