One of the happiest days of life was when my daughter was old enough to wake up, turn on her light, and read!

I swear this is the first time this has happened, but maybe it's because we're willing to get out of bed with them!

OP thanks for sharing. I think you're on to something here.

Totally! I’d be all for that in my house

Both my boys were up early this morning, one at 5:15 and one at 5:30

They're both early risers in general, but this was too much for me. I sent them both back to bed and they actually both complied and fell back to sleep.

I figured out later that morning that my 2 year old had been playing with my clock radio and pushed the DST button, setting the time back by a full hour.

So the boys both really woke up at their regular times, but ended up sleeping until 8 just because I thought it was 5 something.

I should try this every day!
