We're having ishoooos with early waking but I am not complaining too much as my DS has only recently started sleeping through the night, so the novelty of 7 hours' consecutive sleep has not worn off!!
However he is waking up at 5am at the latest, sometimes even 4.15/4.30 and won't go bak to sleep at that time, I guess because he feels he has had a long sleep by then (settles in cot around 7.30/8 on average).
This means he is so grumpy and lethargic in the mornings, and wants to nap by about 11am which makes it difficult to do any nice activities before he completely crashes. Although I can cope with the early wakeup, I think he needs to sleep later for his sake.
Any ideas?? We have a gro clock and I've been banging on about Mr Star as Mr Sun for weeks bit I don't think he totally gets it (is 2 and 2 months). Also I keep giving in and taking him downstairs before the sun is actually up so I suppose I'm doing that wrong anyway!
Anyway would be interested to hear if this is typical or not? My friends IRL all have slightly different ages dc so none of just turned 2 to compare to.
