The earliest start ever: an 11.07pm wake-up call . . .

The big hand says: Time to go back to bed.....

For some time now, The G has been getting up earlier than is ideal.
On good days it might be 6.30am, on bad days 5am.
Strategies employed to overcome this issue include dropping daytime naps and stepping up our efforts to teach her to tell the time.
Things have been improving, so much so that, following successive 7am risings, the consensus seemed to be that the problem had been resolved once and for all.
Not so.
You see, last night, The G smashed her own record for getting up before time.
I heard her coming, it's impossible not to, crashing across the landing and flinging open the bedroom door.
"I go downstairs," she announced.
I looked at the clock.
It read 11.07pm.
Time to go back to the drawing board (but first, back to bed).

  1. What you need is a Gro clock! It is fab and the kids love it. It has a moon during the night and the sun comes up in the morning (when you set it to!). It doubles as a night light too! I had similar problems with my son and the clock really helped!
