Axel woke up at 5 yesterday, I was hoping it wouldn't happen again but of course it happened today as well, I really hope this is not a new pattern or something aarrrrgggg, it is awful to have to go up this early, you have that sort of feeling that you get when you are going to go travel and have to wake up on all strange hours to go to the airport. I'm was (still am ) so tired and tried to get him to sleep a bit longer (of course), first in his own bed (which seldom works at that time of the morning) and then in our bed - which he NEVER does so I don't understand why oh why I feel the desperation to try it every time this happens anyway?! I think we need a couple of blackout blinds so we can pretend it's night for a bit longer, our wooden blinds aren't just not up to scratch. But as we sold the car an IKEA visit is not the easiest now, darn, we should have thought about this before we started to rely on J's mum to go, oh well... I need to drink some tea now, my head is hurting.

yeah, blackout blinds are pretty essential especially now it's geting lighter much earlier. The sun is coming up at 4am now. oh dear! You can get them mail order from John Lewis:

We tell him 'sleep now' and he goes back down after a bit of fussing. I guess to tried that already though. Sounds like Axel just loves being awake!
Also, the other thing that woke Syd up was us stirring and waking him at that time. If adults go to sleep between 10-12 then they will come back into light sleep between 4-5. When we moved him into his own room he slept straight through no problem. That was a bit annoying to know it was us all along.
good luck.
