DS is nearly 3 years and wakes, religiously, just before 6am. He is wide awake, takes himself off for a wee, then comes into our room demanding we get up and play with him. He then doesn't sleep all day (hasn't had daytime nap for over 1 year now) until bedtime which is around 7pm. AT bed time he is very tired and goes to sleep very quickly and easily.
I am 16 weeks pregnant with no2 and feeling absolutely exhausted! I don't know how much longer I can take this routine, with no break during the day either. We have tried so many things to try and keep him in bed in the mornings, including lots of toys in his room etc, but he just brings them in to our room wanting us all to play together!
Although we don't have black out curtains, his room is very dark. This just seems like a horrible routine he has gotton into. Does anyone have any ideas how we can either break the routine, getting him to sleep later; or ways we can keep him out of our room for at least another half an hour in the morning???? Any thoughts would be soooo appreciated!
