when do they stop waking up so early?

Anyone else struggling with the early morning wake-ups from their little ones? Our 3-year-old seems to think 5:30 AM is the perfect time to start the day. I've tried pushing bedtime later, but it doesn't seem to help. We've got blackout curtains, a white noise machine, and even a little clock that changes color when it's time to get up, but nothing is working. It's like he's got an internal alarm clock set for the crack of dawn. Would love to hear if anyone has cracked the code on this one or if I'm just doomed to a few more years of early mornings. Also, any fun activities you suggest for a toddler at that hour would be appreciated! Here's a pic of our little early bird, looking way too chipper for 6 AM: [link to a picture of toddler with bedhead and a big smile] 🐣 Looking forward to hearing your advice or just sharing in the morning madness!
