Little Man & the Evil Bed(room)

For at least a couple of weeks now we have been having the hardest time getting Little Man to bed. We've tried everything and the poor thing just cannot tell us what's bothering him. We do think he is scared of something and we're not sure if it's something in his room or if it's just being alone in there. Anyhow, most nights the routine is such that I end up having to lay in his bed with him until he falls asleep. He has always been such a great sleeper that this is tough for us. It's also tough because unlike most 3 year olds, he can't just tell us what's wrong.

Here he is protesting, trying to get just a little closer to the couch in the living room, lol.

Him outright pointing at the couch, begging to sleep there and not in his bed.

Even after I laid down with him, he continued to let me know he wasn't happy with being there.
