Last time we talked you said he went between seven to seven thirty. That's REALLY early. For kids his age on a daycare schedule bedtime is usually around nine. If you get him outdoors after daycare and get TONS of physical activity, home for a healthy tummy filling home cooked meal, family time together with you and Daddy, and a nice warm bath around eight, some snuggle time reading books and talking with lights low and calm atmosphere he should be ready to nod off around nine... nine thirty.

Make sure he KNOWS once lights out he MUST stay in bed. Your relationship is very important so having time together outside, a sit down family meal, games and activities as a family, a nice long soak in the tub, and a low key story time before bed will bring you so very close together.
Unfortunately she blames a lot of things on dad being deployed. However dad has been gone a while. Being a previous military family I know it does get hard on a kid, but he was this way before dad even left. Mom wants her alone time. She doesn't worry about giving them baths sometimes a week or so at a time. She just doesn't want to deal with her kids at all. I've suggested moving his bedtime to 9pm but she doesn't wanna do that because it would interfere with her alone time. He doesn't believe in her authority as a mom. She feels taking away things works best for him but he needs a good ole fashion spanking.
