Bunny clocks - aaargh

[Jamillie]

Has anybody else tried the bunny clock? Does anyone else have a child who wanders in at 5.55 with said clock, waving it, saying ooh look Mummy bunny's awake! I woke him up cos he wasn't tired! So can I play now? When faced with this logic what can I tell him? Oh and then we set bunny clock only to find that on the odd occasion it is lovely and quiet, time is ticking by, you're looking forward to a lie in , then up pops bunny and in strolls child. Damn damn damn - foiled again. I think I'm just going to have to consign bunny to the "thought it was a good idea" corner - any other nominations?

yes, we had the blasted bunny clock too! Same thing happened to us. Ds1 had the mechanism figured out in no time flat. That and he complained that the "Ping" when the thing woke up, scared him!

Might aswell have burned the money!

put it on a shelf where he can't reach it?>

ahaah - would be good idea but there are no shelves in his room on the walls - only bookshelves on floor...

thre is a better way...

for dd we used fairy lights on a timer and when they gave up the ghost and we couldnt find replacement bulbs then we used a digital alarm clock. When the time starts with a 7 she can leave the room (is now 4 bit we started with the fairy lights when she was around 2 1/2.

Yup, I've got one of those too Piffle - £30 (Ebay), but so far I have not had to wake up before 7am since I got it 9 months ago - that's only 10p a day, and it costs less every day Well worth it.
