Tucker was just like that, Lyndsy. At 5 in the morning, causing a rukus.
At first I was getting up and checking on him; then I wised up. I would ignore his pleas and his temper tantrums and lay still in my bed and pretend not to hear him at all. Eventually, the little bugger realized that all of his fuss and trouble got him nothing but tired, so he learned to settle down and just wait until I got up.
As hard as it is, ignore the "alarm clocks" and just let them have at it. If you get up, they will then learn that their little tactics are working. DON'T DO IT!
It's A Game, I tell ya!
A GAME!!!
