First, I kept my word and have started adding more pics to the Memorial weekend post - scroll down and look if you're in the mood for some serious cuteness!
And, we need your help. It doesn't matter if we know you or not, if you're a lurker or a regular reader, we'll take any advice- just post a comment. We REALLY want to get Marlee to got to sleep later at night and sleep later in the morning. She's up for the day anywhere between 5-6am. Her bedtime was usually 7, sometimes even 6:45ish depending on her. We have been slowly trying to push it back. (There's so much fun stuff going on during the summer and 7 seems so early...) She can basically stay up as late as we let her if she entertained, even if she's tired, she will usually be happy. But her bedtime does not seem to effect her wake-up time (except for occasionally making her wake-up time even earlier - 4:30am is NOT acceptable darling girl!!). So, this week we have started to SLOWLY push her bedtime back - 7:15 for a couple days, now 7:30 for a couple, but with no success on the wake up time. I know we need to give it a little bit of time... I'm just wondering if anyone has had success with this.
We don't want her to sleep all day, but 7am would be heaven!! Thanks for any comments!

Wish I could offer some advice. My kids do the same thing, no matter how late we let them stay up they wake up at the same time! Thankfully, they have made it to 6:30 or 7 lately. I'll take it! We have sound machines in each kids room, that seems to help them from waking each other up. And I'm now addicted to the white noise in the monitor! A friend bought her kids a nightlight/alarm clock that you set to be on the moon for sleepy time and sun for awake time, she swears by it. Mars may be too young to grasp the concept but it is worth a try. G-man has a clock and we tell him not to come downstairs until ___. One more thing, if her room gets a lot of sun, try some curtains that block out any light. Hope you get more sleep! I feel your pain!!
Hmmmm...my only advice would be to put black-out curtains up in her window(s). Or, for a temporary fix to see if it even works before you invest in curtains, put up some foil. LOL!
