Lucas sleeps in his bed in his pen and he usually wakes up around 7 and whines for me to pick him up into bed. Then once he comes up he snuggles right in until pretty much whenever I want to get up. He just wants snuggles
Ignoring definitly works when he wakes up at 5 wanting to come into bed. I just turn over and he goes right back to sleep. I think he knows it's too early
