Sleep dilemma

Alexa

Our 2.5 year old has always been a great sleeper since we transferred him into his big boy bed at 18months. We have had no sleep issues till recently, he’s having middle of the night wakings either screaming and crying or just getting up like it’s morning. He’s been waking up between the hours of 2 am - 5 am and he goes to bed at 8:30-9:00. Our issue is that my husband and I sleep in the efficiency outside with our 3 month old and grandma and grandpa sleep inside, when my toddler wakes he walks down a dark hallway to the baby gate we have and either forces open or cries and my mother comes to get him and takes him to HER BED!!!, I’m tired of explaining to her that if he does that to walk him back to his bed but it’s always an excuse. We have a camera in his room and my phones notifies me but me and dad are so dead asleep that we don’t hear the notifications. He’s been waking now like this for 2 weeks and I’m loosing my mind on how to correct this issue. Any advice??
