All the 24 hour restaurants are gross so I try to wait for 6am. </p> <p>I currently have a 5 mo that loves to wake at 4:30. I watch the late night shows from the night before. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-kids-are-early-risers#post-2371853 Sat, 28 Nov 2015 22:25:37 +0000 ALV91711 2371853@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS has always been an early riser. 5-6am is normal. We have breakfast and put on cartoons. Usually about half an hour after waking up he'll start to play. During the week it isn't a big deal, we have to be out of the house by 7am. On the weekends it is pretty much play by yourself until we wake up a bit. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-kids-are-early-risers#post-2371831 Sat, 28 Nov 2015 21:56:43 +0000 shellio 2371831@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ugh my boys are early risers. Usually up between 5-6. We eat breakfast first thing, they kind of run around the house and play until we have something to do. In warmer weather we sometimes play outside but the houses are close together and I don't want them waking the neighbors at 6 in the morning! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-kids-are-early-risers#post-2371685 Sat, 28 Nov 2015 16:28:25 +0000 Eminthevalley 2371685@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@matador84: my twins are up between 5:00-5:45 each day but we don't get them until 6:15. They have a toddler clock and know we don't come in until it's green. I need my coffee and shower! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-kids-are-early-risers#post-2371634 Sat, 28 Nov 2015 14:21:29 +0000 FaithFertility 2371634@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Thrifty Mama: yep doesn't work.... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-kids-are-early-risers#post-2371618 Sat, 28 Nov 2015 13:36:53 +0000 matador84 2371618@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Thrifty Mama: nope! I have too much stuff to do at night to keep them up later and 8 is already bed time. the price i pay! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-kids-are-early-risers#post-2371605 Sat, 28 Nov 2015 13:13:16 +0000 Thrifty Mama 2371605@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Have you tried putting them to bed later? My son goes to bed around 9 every night and doesn't wake up until 8:30-9 in the morning. We've tried moving bedtime earlier, but he just won't have it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-kids-are-early-risers#post-2371578 Sat, 28 Nov 2015 11:59:31 +0000 gingerbebe 2371578@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Weird thing that might help? DS usually sleeps until 730am but we had some days recently where he was awake and crying at like 4-5am and not going back down. I realized that I felt cold walking back to our room and thought the house must get cold at that hour. The heater kicked on then so we figured DS was waking from the cold and then the loud furnace noise was probably keeping him up! So we bumped our thermostat up before we went to bed and that got him back to normal wake times. DS can't sleep in fleece because he runs so hot so we use cotton PJs with a thick cotton bag and socks with a Sherpa blanket in the bed he usually kicks off so I thought that would be enough but I guess not with the cold snap we've had lately. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-kids-are-early-risers#post-2371487 Sat, 28 Nov 2015 07:09:27 +0000 FaithFertility 2371487@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@matador84: Yep solo all weekend :/ </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-kids-are-early-risers#post-2371486 Sat, 28 Nov 2015 07:08:42 +0000 catomd00 2371486@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She lays in our bed watching Mickey until an acceptable hour!

Usually I can get her back down by not today. She has kind of a cold so I'm blaming it on that.
