Good Wolf

I agree with checking with the ped first. I'm sure they have heard of such things where as it seems most of us haven't.

When our daugther was three there were a couple of times that she woke up early and did odd things. Once she took all the cans out of pantry and stacked them up on the table. As far as I know stuff like that only happened a couple times though.

The car incident is terrifying. I'm shocked to learn that a five year old even knows how to put the keys in the ignition and use the radio.

I like the idea of getting a monitor and an exterior lock. He if he really needs you and can let you know on the monitor. If he throws a fit in the middle of the night then I think he just wants to be up when mommy and daddy aren't around to tell him what to do. This is a battle you must fight no matter how hard it might be.
