  Sophia is a big eater so we give her a snack right before bed each night or she is up at 3 or 4 wanting to eat breakfast and start the day!  She usually is in bed around 8, but with daylight lasting longer her bedtime usually gets pushed back to 8:30 in the summer.  Usually she wakes up around 7/7:15 either way.  We did go through a phase the last two weeks where she was getting up at 6, but I think that was more because DH was out of town and her routine was a bit off.  

  I would definitely try a snack before bed.  When Sophia was younger the later we put her to bed the earlier she got up so I'd be cautious moving bedtime back unless you do it on a weekend!

  We usually put K down at 7, and he wakes anywhere from 5 (gasp) to 6, depending on the day.  I am now wondering about the snack and putting him down a little later.  It is so hard for me to think it is so light out, and I am putting him down so early, but I wasn't sure when they move bedtimes back.

  We give Jackson a snack before bed, usually crackers or maybe a piece of toast.   We've had to limit his drink because he was wetting through diapers, but we'll give him a drink or two of water or milk.   We try to get him in bed at 8; however with playing outside it's been more like 8:30 this week.  He typically wakes up at 7....again, this week I've had to wake him up every day for daycare and the one day I could go into work late I woke him up at 7:45.  It will be interesting to see how late he sleeps this weekend, I would die for 7:45.

  Both of my kiddos are in bed by 8:00.  We don't give snacks before bed, but because I'm home they eat a later dinner (6:30) - if they ate earlier I would definitely be giving them a snack.  Drake is up at 7:25 on the dot -everyday.  I usually have to wake Gabby up at 8:00 or she won't take a nap.  If I let her sleep - the diva will sleep until 9:00/9:30.

  C usually wakes up between 5:30 and 6 on weekdays.  On weekends when we don't wake him up he'll get up on his own between 6:30 and 7.  He usually goes to bed between 8 and 9.  He's a really good eater but we don't give him any snacks before bedtime and he doesn't like to eat right away when he wakes up either.  He likes to have a 1/2 to an hour to wake up before he really wants to eat.
