It worked

Yes, it worked. Parker has been getting up at...6:15 or earlier for a few weeks now. Emaline sleeps until 9:15 or even 10:15! I have been exhausted because that throws off all nap schedules...meaning they won't go down at the same time.

Last night a voice in my head reminded me about an idea a friend used with her daughter who struggled with early rising a few years ago, I tried it and it WORKED!

I put a clock in Parker's room (set about 15 minutes behind) and then had a little talk with him. I told him that he could not knock knock on his door (we child lock him in his room) until there was a seven in the first spot on the clock. We even practiced last night.

This morning I was awaken to the sound of "Mommy Mommy come here" I glanced over at my clock and it read 7: 20, so I walked into Parker's room where he was jumping up and down pointing at his clock saying I SEE A SEVEN!!! It read 7:06! I think tonight I will make it an hour behind...do you think it will work?
