[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My situation isn't ideal, but this is what works for our family and our 2.5 year old. He is in a toddler bed. He can get out when he wants, but he will call to us to come get him instead of walking to our room. We have an OK to wake clock set at 4:20. At that hour he calls me that the clock is green. I come to get him and we both fall back asleep in my bed. You may be able to set the clock to 5 am. We chose 4:20 because he was actually waking earlier than that and because it's an hour that isn't difficult for either of us to fall back asleep.[/quote]

We do something similar. We recently took the front of the crib so instead of crying when he wakes up, he just walks out of his bed and it our room and falls right back asleep in our bed. This morning he came in at 5 and slept until 6:45. It isn't great if you really really want your kid to sleep in her own bed, but I honestly don't mind since I don't have to get out of bed and I get so little time with him in the morning that sleepy snuggling is nice.[/quote]
