Jacob wakes up very happy as well, and we are reluctant to go in there whilst he is happily chatting to himself, which he will do for up to an hour!!! We are trying to make sure that he understands that we won't go rushing in there to him when he is happy - we will go in if he's upset, that's for certain. We also don't want him to think that the minute he is awake, that his day begins IYKWIM?

So what we're doing at the moment is holding out until around 6.15 - 6.30 and then he's up for the day.

I have to admit I'm feeling pretty tired......we're used to him not waking until at least 6.30 most of the time. I wonder if it's just because he's sick with a cold??? Not sure......
