Hi, haven't checked in in a while, and my loss, because there are a few very timely discussions for us now. We're going through some of the same, but really, it's both the twins, not just the one with sensory issues. In the winter, they were sick so much that I just kind of gave up on trying to get them to sleep in their own beds? Why bother when they would just be sick again next week, and why bother when I was falling asleep, too, by the time I could get them into bed?

I've gotten my boy with sensory processing issues a weighted blanket, and while he likes it, it doesn't seem to have any particular calming effect on him. He has his doll with rooted hair to fondle, and that is really helpful, but he still wants me, and he doesn't want to sleep in his toddler bed.

Neither of my boys is much fun to sleep with, though the one with sensory processing issues is arguably worse. Yes, the melt-downs can be exhausting. I'm thinking about selling their toddler beds and taking them to a discount furniture store to let them pick out their own beds to try to generate a little excitement. And we need to child-proof their nursery some more. Sorry I don't have more useful suggestions!
