What's his nap status? When a child who used to sleep well gets to the point where bedtime takes hours, it can be a sign that they're napping too long or too late in the day. My oldest was between 3 and 3.5 when I had to stop him napping because he couldn't sleep at night. My youngest is almost 2.5, and her naps have to be less than an hour and over by 1:30 otherwise she's up until 10 or 11. And if they're lying in bed for hours unable to sleep, that's when mine use all the attention-getting behaviors you're mentioning.
Good luck figuring it out!

Ugh Sara I feel ya. My 5 yr old makes me BATTY at bedtime. His issue is naps.. and I KNOW for sure it's naps b/c on friday, saturday, sunday he doesn't nap and that boy is out by 8:30. Monday - Thursday.. heaven help us. He's up till 11 pm or later and I want to cry. He has to nap at daycare for now but they are ending that this summer since he starts Kindy in the fall.
