We've trained our 5 year old to entertain himself in the mornings, and how to tell time. He knows that he is not to disturb Mommy until the clock says EIGHT-ZERO-ZERO unless there is fire, blood, stranger, or someone is unconscious [besides him, obviously]. Our 15 month old hates to sleep, and has been that way since birth, so we just use a baby gate on her door-she can't get out even if she wanted to and she knows it (from many experiments) so she just chills out with her teddy bear and her book and waits...if big brother wants to play in the morning he just climbs on in, if not Mommy will come get her eventually. Even our newborn is pretty laid back-she's two weeks old and only wakes up 2 or 3 times a night between 9pm and 8am. Still, even we have our days when everyone decides that THEY NEED MOMMY RIGHT NOW (at 5am). Those days it would be really nice to have a snooze button on the kids. And I agree there are no good cartoons on network TV anymore. We watch a lot of Noggin. We’re very blessed in the bedtime/sleeping department.

And why is it on the morning that you actually do have to have all kids dressed nice and out the door, that is the day they sleep in?

They get up early but have learned to stay in their room til we come and get them. Except this morning Evan went to the bathroom and decided to sing really loud while he was in there LOL!!!
