Yes, though I remember things being a bit crowded, but obviously the only
way I was remotely going to get any sleep was to share the couch...

I don't remember many details. I was trying to put him to bed in his room.
I'm thinking that he wasn't communicating well about the agreement. I
honestly don't remember what triggered me remembering it.

Eye-opening in the strength of sense of justice, plus remembering an
agreement. Also in the fact that the tantrum ended instantly when I realized
the problem and made good on my earlier agreement.
When my sister got home, I think he went into her room. Perhaps that was the
failure in communication, he may have thought it obvious that when he needed
a little comforting that he would sleep with mom, or uncle Frank.
