Jacob
While everyone in the family is quite happy to sleep on, Jacob wakes up every morning at 6am and then comes and wakes me and Doug up on the grounds that "Sam parped", "I had a dream about snails", "Sam is snoring" and other spurious reasons. If he gets sent back to his bed, he then proceeds to wake up Sam.
He is driving me mad; if I tell him he can't come into our bedroom until its morning, he then starts coming up with scenarios where he might be allowed to come in before morning; he's wet the bed or had a nightmare, for instance. So if I say that for those reasons he can come and wake me up, he then comes in and uses those excuses even though its patently obvious that he's not wet the bed or had a nightmare.
He's been properly shouted at today for doing this; it remains to be seen whether this will work and whether Doug, Sam and I actually manage to sleep on past 6am tomorrow.

Did it work?
sort of - for a couple of mornings anyway.
but we've now bought him a digital alarm clock with big numbers that he can read - he knows that he can only get out of bed if the clock is showing a 7 and up till now, he's managed that each morning.
unfortunately, Sam wakes up earlier and lies in bed chirrupping until its time to get up.
Oh well, you can't have everything :)
