Curtains

Because this little stinker has gotten up before 5:30 a.m. every day this week,
I decided to do something about it.

I fixed his windows so the light doesn't come in as much.
He already had two layers of curtains - one shear black and a thicker green.
Since I wanted instant results without paying any money, I just added another layer of shear.

I also tacked the outside ends to the wall so the light doesn't leak through.

What do you think? Will it work?????

We covered Noah's windown with aluminum foil and then tacked a blanket over the window. It has definately helped. It's helped Noah to try and go back to sleep rather than thinking its time to play before 6:00am.

That is a FANTASTIC idea. Emma has been waking up at 5 all of a sudden too. I will try this festive idea. It could also be the freaking birds outside her window. Let me tell you, living on a mountain has its negative sides. BIRDS. Is it bad I want them dead?

It totally worked! Mark and I woke up around 6:20 am and realized that Cohen was still sleeping! Yessssss!!

Glad it worked. I just applied blackout material to the back of the boys' curtains during naptime today. I am hoping for a little more sleep tomorrow morning. :)

Great idea! I wouldn't have thought a layer of sheer would have worked; I would have opted for a thicker fabric, but your idea works great! Nice touch with the tacks. My annoying curtains don't stay put!
