The Lior is Still Here.

Two nights ago Zusha got hysterical when I tried to put him for a nap, so I let it slide. We did other things instead. I figured I'd put him in early, but the hysterics started up again. Screaming, thrashing, crying, climbing from the crib in terror. I removed the crib rail, making it into a toddler bed. He seemed to like it, but hopped right out crying. I put him back in and put a gate in his doorway. He begged me to let him go because Lor is there. So I did. Eventually he was so worn out that he listened when I said that I chased Lor away and he won't come when Zusha is sleeping.
Yesterday he tried to resist his nap but gave in. Bedtime was also not too bad. But in the middle of the night he woke up 3 or 4 times, crying hysterically that he wants out and to my bed.
Twice he climbed out- for the first time at night. I got 3 nonconsecutive hours of sleep. So did Zusha. But again he went nuts at naptime. My mother came to take him out and he slept 1/2 hour in the stroller with her. Bedtime was not bad cuz I promised him a new toy, and gave it to him on the condition that he stays in bed.

I've tried everything! Ordering the monster to leave, etc... He is still terrified.
Don't forget that I have another child who is being quite neglected through all this.
I have to add that all 4 of us are sick. I am NOT coping.
I am ready to order him a toddler bed, as I tried the mattress on the floor thing, but he still pops up in an instant.
