I haven't tried this as I know there is no way my ds (the early waker) would stay in bed until the bunny said to get up.
How old is your early waker? I can give you nearly 6 years worth of coping strategies - I'm afraid I've never actually cracked the early waking though.

At 3 years old they are not really old enough to be be left unsupervised. I think at that stage, I was renting lots of videos as ds woke up before kids telly was on. I would stumble down, make up big beaker of milk & sandwich for ds, put on favourite video & zonk on to sofa & drift back off again. Usually, I had to overlook various antics such as saucepans being dragged around the house & a complete mess before 8am.
However, I am pleased to report that at 5.75 he is pretty much capable of taking care of himself in the morning, so his sister & I can wake up at a more normal hour.
Early waking is vile, particularly for those of us who are naturally owls!!!! I have never successfully conquered it with ds. He wakes 80% of the time between 6 & 6.30am, 15% of the time at 5.30 & 5% not until 7pm - all regardless of the time he went to bed the night before.
I shall have my revenge when he is a teenager!!! (Evil cackle emoticon)
