yes, DDs last day of school was today and we had a sitter stay with him and PD at 11:45am, she said he talked for about 10 min and she hasn't heard him since.  He was up early again, probably around 6ish.  I talked to our ped. and she stresses not going in his room till a set time.  So either he will learn to sleep till that time or close to it or he will at least occupy himself and not cry within 10-15 min of getting up.  We set the time at 6:45am this AM.  We'll see.

Yes, we've always had a 'set' time of going in to get DD.  It's usually been about 6:30 as that's when she most naturally wakes.  We were more lenient however, when she was teething and struggling with sleep more in general. 

We now have a version of the Gro-Clock, that switches from a sleeping bunny to a bunny that's up and walking to school at 6:30 am.  DD knows that we won't come to get her before the bunny wakes up, and it works quite well.  Sometimes she sleeps through it and sometimes she's up a while before.  This morning I heard her a little after 6 am; by about 6:25, I could hear her saying, "Wake up, Bunny.  C'mon, wake up!!"   LOL!!

I think we'll stick with the 6:45am "get" time as we were doing that before.  For our DD, she has a light that is on a timer and when the light comes on she knows she can call us to come get her.  I know she wakes around 6:45ish but her light doesn't come on until 7:15pm.  She is almost 4 though and I think it's good for her to occupy herself and hopefully when DS starts going to bed later we can start putting her to bed later and thus get later wake ups.  (A girl can hope!)

Today:
6ish Wake
12-2:35pm Nap
7:25pm Asleep for night

How are you feeling?  Only 2 mos. to go...do you know if it is boy or girl?

Looks good!

I'm feeling good thanks, really can't believe I've only got 9 weeks left.  We don't know if it's a boy or girl and don't have firm names yet either.   Better get to work on that!
