We also got DD a little portable DVD player which we picked up for about $60 and we put a movie in and all she has to do is turn the power on and press play and she can watch a little movie in bed.. We usually only do this on weekends so we can have an extra long sleep in haha

I know you said this needs another thread but I think the early rising is due to being hungry. THe most efficient time for the body to absorb nutrients is between 3.30 and 4.30 in the afternoon, which just happens to be when most kids are 'starving' My hot tip would be to feed him dinner during his afternoon hunger period and then a snack like a sandwich or rice pudding or yoghurt for supper when you normally would offer dinner. THis golden hot tip has changed many lives in families that I know and work with... goodluck...

I am 100% sure he is waking early because he is not eating enough! I didn't know that, I will try feeding him dinner earlier then a snack later, thanks so much for sharing!!

I have googled the clock, and will get one on the weekend, thanks so much ladies!!

we have early risers! our parenting of the year award is to have the TV ready to go at a low volume on ABC2 lol. but we also have their snacks ready to go as well. it staves off the hunger and the thirst and gives us some extra precious time to rest...our youngest is a wakeful kid!
