I was a harder ass than just_annie. I won't try to tell you how to get him to go to bed because others have already given you that advise. I'll only say that if you don't get control of the child at 27 months old it will only get worse as they get older and you'll wonder what happened to your authority. I have seen it too many times and know it happens. Thankfully, right or wrong, I raised my children like I was raised and all was and is well.
