hmm.....well in my house, daytime sleeps at 4 have never happened!! maybe very rarely, but not often.

My almost 3 yo is similar at the moment. I find I really need to schedule quiet time, we sit together and watch some tv, or read books, something quiet and restful that isn't sleeping. This helps us get through the day. I also find when DH gets home about 4:30 he is struggling, but DH will usually play or taking him outside and he perks up again. He will crash at 7pm, this is an ideal day doesn't always work!

I'm not too sure about the early rising.......
