The Secret is...

wait until mom gets a migraine, cry for at least 1 1/2 hours in the middle of the night (at least this long), then when morning comes cry some more. Eat like you are a good boy at 7, but when she puts you back in your own bed to sleep for a few more hours, don't do it! Let mom get all the way back to her bed and almost asleep, then start crying, and I mean crying, none of that whining stuff. When she comes to check on you, continue crying until she gives up and picks you up. Then, snuggle down on her shoulder and be really sweet. Next, she will decide it's not worth it, remember her head is still hurting from the previous night's migraine, and she will put you in bed with her! It's awesome! Now, you can sleep that 2 hours that she wanted you to sleep in your own bed!!!

p.s. don't tell mom I figured this out or it won't ever work again!

This is my sweet smile, not my I-got-you-figured-out-mom smile!
