When did it get better? My twin boys are 2 years and 9 months old and have woken up before 6:00 am for most of the last two years. It's seriously wearing on me. They are currently going through a bout of waking at 4:45-5:15 every morning. Pushing bedtime later does.not.help. We don't allow them to come out of their room until 6:15 but that doesn't seem to help either. We have one of the OK to wake clocks, too.
