We have never put many toys in the room, I still don't have them out on display at night for my 5 year old as i try to keep it as relaxing as poss but if you think it might help you could try I guess...how have the last couple of days been?

Yes I've always been hesitant to let him have toys in his room but recently he's insisted on taking various toys to bed with him. He already has a bed crammed full of cuddlies but recent additions have included board books and his new tractor on his birthday (almost as big as him!!) which he wouldn't be separated from. I went to remove it in the night as I was afraid he'd bump his head on it and wake up but he was cuddling it so tightly I had to leave it there! To his credit, he still slept though til 7.

We've had EW's at 6am for the last two mornings. Unusual for him as he's usually a 7-8am waker. Think it's the snot and possible OT-ness as Daddy's been late home the last few nights so naughty me, I've let him stay up til 8 to see him. Anytime after about 7pm he gets crazier and crazier until he's just running round in circles shouting at the top of his lungs until he eventually has a massive meltdown. Keeping him up late means he's been a crazy hoon the last few nights.

He's a clingy grumpy little man this week so haven't attempted any new wake-up ideas as 6am seemed a bad time to do any of them! It's been Cbeebies on the sofa instead while I stew over a cup of tea...
