Ever since we moved Evie to a toddler bed, we've kept a cover on the door knob inside her room to keep her from wandering and getting into something while we are sleeping (think of it as her room being a much larger crib). Well, when she turned two, we (and by we I mean Blake) had the brilliant idea to take this cover off to see what would happen.
The first couple of nights, she did fine. When she woke up at her usual time (6:30ish) she simply opened her door and came to our room. It was actually very sweet to hear her little feet slapping on the floor as she ran to our room (ran because she never walks anywhere) and her saying good morning and urgin us to get up. After a couple of days, however, she started to appear in our room earlier and earlier. First it was 5:55. Early, but acceptable. The next day it was 5:30. Definitely pushing it. When she turned up at 4:45 I'd hit my limit.
Needless to say, the cover is now back on her door knob and we are all now sleeping (quite happily) to 6:30 again!
