Cow dancing!

Evette tends to wake up early. For a while there she was waking up somewhere between 6-6:30 every day, and waking us up immediately after - which wasn't our favorite thing. So Heidi did some research and bought this "toddler clock."

As you can see, it has only two sections - one for "awake time" and one for "sleepy time." The user can set when the clock highlights a given half of its face. We set ours to 7 AM - admittedly still earlier than Heidi would like it to be (she is 9 months pregnant after all), but we didn't feel Evette would stand it if it were any later.

We instructed Evette that she had to stay in her room until the upper portion lit up - the dancing cow. She caught on immediately and now, at 7 AM on the dot every morning, we hear a loud shot of "Mommy, Daddy, cow dancing, cow dancing! Awake time!" as she gallops into our room as fast as her little feet will carry her. We love it.
