We've been trying to put the kids down a little bit earlier for a whole bunch of reasons -- the top two being 1) to get more evening back, and 2) because rumour has it they may actually be physically primed to sleep a little bit earlier than they've been doing. Now, instead of 7:30-8:00 for Joey and (unfortunately) 8:30-9:00 for Sam, we're aiming for 7:15-ish and 7:45-ish. It's going well, but...
...Joey, who has been doing a good 7 hour chunk when we first put him down has gotten up before 6 for the past 4 days. And this is after a ~5am feed. He'll stir about quarter to, Julie will feed him, he'll take waaaaay too long to get back to sleep (normally around quarter after), and then he'll be awake for the day at 5:45 or so.
The real pain in this one (aside from having to get up before Dawn's even seen her crack, let alone presented it) is that, when I stumble down the stairs with him and sit in my comfy chair to wait for sunlight, he falls right back asleep in my arms. Do you think he stays asleep if I try to put him back in bed? *sigh*
This too shall pass...
