Problem is, now EVERY morning, about 5am Lindsay (5yo) is waking up - either crying or coming into our room - because the birds are chirping and scaring her. I don't get it! Never bothered her before this. Since she is in an upstairs room, and it can get stuffy, cracking the window (I mean it was open about an inch this morning) to let the fresh air in is the only way to go and get the air moving. Does anyone have any suggestions for this? She does have a radio in her room that she falls asleep to but she does not like it on in the middle of the night, just when she first goes up for bed. I'm so tired because at 5am it's just not worth going back to sleep for an hour so I just stay up... ETA: To clarify, she is asking us to close her window when she wakes up at 5a and then goes right back to sleep.

I was also going to suggest some type of white noise like a fan! Poor baby!

But I know those dang birds are so loud in the mornings and it might not be enough to drown them out unless you've got the fan on high. -------------------- Sara ~ Wife to Scott, Mommy to Andrew 6-12-05, Alison 2-20-07, and our angel in heaven 4-20-06
