And I told you guys going into the weekend, I asked the question like, if anybody has a three-year-olds, how do we get our three-year-old Hollis to stay in bed until like 7 or 7.30? Because he's getting up at 5.30. And you guys email me a whole bunch of different ideas that I was ready to run by Stacy, right? Well, we actually stumbled on an answer accidentally this weekend. and if you have a three-year-old or a two-and-a-half-year-old that you're trying to train, maybe this is going to work for you guys. So my family left for Isla Palm, South Carolina on Wednesday. And then I came and I flew in on Friday for Easter weekend to be with them. But Stacy put Hollis in bed with

her just for the weekend, right? And she set the alarm for 7 o'clock. So Hollis gets up at 5.30,

and mom tells him, look, for now on, you're not allowed to get up until you hear the music.

So he goes back to sleep. And then when the alarm went off at 7 or 7.30, I mean, he was

awake, but he didn't get out of bed until he heard the music. So she did that on Wednesday night,

Thursday night, and on Friday night, and on Saturday night also. So he hasn't been in the room

himself yet to execute it, but all weekend long, she has

been in bed with him and he's been waking up at like six, but doesn't get out of bed and

stay still until like 7 or 7.30.

The alarm goes off and he's out of the room.

Nice.

So he followed the rules.

So he's followed the rules so far.

And when they come home today, tonight will be the first time we try it with him on his own, in his own room. Right. But so far, so good. And you're not sleeping in the bed with him, though, right? Because of your knee? I have not been sleeping in the bed with him, right. So this is just mom and he. Like, you can't have a two-year-one rolling over on that knee. No, no, no, no, no. That was freaking me out.

No.

But it might work for you guys also. This is just mom and he. I was like, you can't have a two of your own rolling over on that knee. No, no, no, no.

That was freaking me out.

No.

But it might work for you guys also.

So we'll see if it really worked tonight.

Yeah. If he sleeps through the night and gets up when the alarm goes off. Well, he obviously, if he needed a cue, you know, like if it's the music of the alarm,
