Its been a week now, and thankfully he now goes down easily again after the initial period of monkey business....but is waking super early now, all excited about being able to be up and about around his room. We have gates, but he keeps opening doors, turning on lights etc....any ideas on how to get him back to staying in bed if he wakes early? TIA

Thanks for the suggestion, we have a clock actually, but the little monkey knows how to switch from stars to sunshine so he just says, look mummy, its sunshine!!!! He's 2 yrs 8 mths and a little terror!!!

Its a problem in that he's waking us up too!!! I do NOT want to be awake at 5am!!!! He used to sleep till at least 6.30....anything after 6 i can live with but this 5 business is too early!!! A thing that worked for us with DD was a stair-gate in the door to her room. That way, she could wake up and well, ok, she screamed to be let out after about 20 minutes. How old is he? I only ask because you can get alarm clocks that you can set so that the character opens his eyes at a certain time (and closes them at a certain time) and so, if he's old enough and pliable enough, you could try convincing him that he can only come and wake you up once bunny's eyes are open.

is it a problem? If you have gates, then as long as he's contained and safe, then surely he can play if he's up and about. We don't have gates so our two come and jump on us in bed! That and getting DS to actually go to sleep in his big bed... grrr... little monkey will run out of the bedroom, grin at us and run back in. I haven't managed to break him in yet! lol
