    No way, I'm thrilled it's over. It's going to be sooo much easier to get them into bed at night and I'm a morning person anyway!

    I'm surprised... cos it worked here! I kept the kids up the extra hour and they woke at 6 this morning. I was dreading the 5am wakeup as well. I think it was a fluke tho LOL. We'll see how this week pans out.

    I think most of our early morning wakeups are due to waking up cold. Have to get the kids used to using blankets again. Warm jarmies aren't cutting it any more hehe.

    i'm excited.... i've got a 3 year old and an 11 week old asleep by 7pm!!!! its heaven... tomorrow i might even try for 6.45pm.....
    i can never really guarantee what time i am going to be up in the mornings with an 11 week old, so its the bedtimes at night that i need to get a good deal with.... that said i do not plan on letting either of them up until 7am, maybe 6.45am at the earliest... not sure how it will go, but i could jump for joy, we usually have bed times of between 8pm-9pm, and for them to actually be asleep at 7pm, its like a dream come true...

    i don't know how its going to work when the in laws drop around at 6.30pm or later constantly... do you think i can say something, like somehow say the kids go to bed EARLY now...?

    Worked ok here for us too... DD1 was too busy running amock with her cousin and had such a full on day, she went down prob around the normal time but slept in til 7 this morning... she never used to sleep til 8... see even with the time dif she's up by 7...

    DD2 doesn't really affect yet, she still did her night time stuff around (albeit a little earlier) but she will hopefully sleep 6-8hrs then go every 3hrs from there.

    No hiccups here either - they woke at the normal time which was actually 6.40am (would normally have been around 7.30am but I can live with that! Expecting them to wake around 7.30am tomorrow as normal...fingers crossed! I must admit, I much prefer putting them to bed at 7pm and it being dark

    Ugh, we were up at 5:30, despite putting DS to bed LATE.

    5:30 is not a nice time.
