And what time do they generally get up in the morning.

I take Ewan up to bed at 7.30 so once he is washed and changed its probably nearer to 8.

He gets up at about, 6.30 if his dad is off to work at that time as all the movement wakes people up.
Or other days it can be 8ish.

What a good thread - it's really interesting to see everyone's routines.

Freya is 3.5. For probably a year now she's been going to bed at around 7.30. We try to have dinner together most nights, then it's bath time, a little bit of telly or quiet play with Mum and/or Dad, then off to bed for stories. Her light goes out at 8.
I have to wake her at 7am during the week, and on weekends she sleeps till 7.30, 8ish.
Works for us.

oh i agree very interesting and good thread. I think it helps us moms seeing other people's routine because then we can try them and make ours better if need be.

Cyan is 4, and she goes to bed between 7:30 and 8. I wake her up at 7:30 every morning for school. She is always tired, so I try to put her to bed at a decent hours. Even on weekends she goes to bed at the same time, the routine works for us.

Its always good when you have a rountine.. lol My little one is 18 months and he goes to daycare so when he comes home he is wiped out so he will go to bed around 7 pm and my oldest will go to bed around 8:30 now, he is just hooked on games and now he has discovered some new sites to add to the webkinz one that is on and let me just say i don't hear a peep out of him for that hour he is playing, lol.....

Our girls go to bed about 8:15/8:30. If they take a nap in the afternoon, then they chat to 9:15p. They wake up about 7:15.

So, he usually falls asleep around 10 p.m. Makes for tiring nights and lack of OH time.

Hoping that once he is in school full time this will change.

William is the EXACT same way, it can be very frustrating, and it deffinetly means absolutley no me time or OH time, because by the time he finally passes out then I am ready for bed too, and then he wakes up early in the morning, so I dont even get any time in the morning to myself.

I know this might sound crazy, but try putting him to bed far earlier. Like if he's put to bed at 8, and having night waking, try 7. My son was like this, and an earlier bedtime did wonders. He'd stay asleep all night, and even sleep in longer. Went from sleeping about 8hrs a night to 11ish, and his whole temperment improved, as did his development for speech and motor skills.

Josh is 3 1/2 & goes to bed around 7.30 depending how tired he is & how stressed i am lol He likes a story or a dvd on, So sometimes he goes a little earlier & has a film on. But he's usually asleep by 8. He wakes up around 7 - 7.30 am ish. He rarely wakes during the night unless he's poorly, He used to wake to go the toilet but i stopped drinks after 6pm & he has a wee before bed & now goes all night without waking for the loo ..much better!

Abbie goes to bed around eight (she's six), but when she hasn't got school i let her stay up until she wants to go to bed (within reason of course). She normally wakes up around seven/half seven, it's not very often i have to wake her up for school.
