Our early bird

So, the early mornings continue. K has been waking up around 5:30 or 6 in the morning. Not so bad during the week but a killer on the weekends. We are trying to figure out what we can do to get him to sleep longer. We tried putting him to bed later but no luck. We tried giving him some milk before bed (we did brush his teeth afterwards) but no luck. We are starting to feel like we did when he came home from the hospital due to the lack of sleep. We have started going to bed around 9. We are seriously not old enough for that!!! When he wakes up before our alarm clock goes off, we put him back in bed. He will get up again and we will put him back in. This cycle goes on until the alarm goes off and we're getting ready for the day. We are trying to convey to him that he doesn't get up until Mr. Sun is out but it is a total work in progress. I have already told him that when he is a teenager and trying to sleep until noon that I will gladly be running into his room before the sun comes up and wake him up!!
