Day 2, 3, 4 5 & 6 - Early Rising,

I had success for three consecutive days. I woke up sharp at 5:00am. But, Sunday Monday and Tuesday were a bit difficult. Once I fell of the wagon and it seems harder than before to get back on track.
Here are the problems I have:
1. I was too excited about waking up early and enjoying the quiet time, I end up waking too early 3:45-4:15am. Then when I force myself to get some sleep for about 1/2 hour, next thing I know its 6:30.
2. My daughter seems to wake up with me. So, I try to help her go back to sleep and I seem to have slept right along with her. Now, I let my partner sleep in between us, so I wouldn't wake her up. But, she seems to find her way to me. :-( Then I realized, she has a light cycle( as in disturbed sleep) around 3-5:00am. Any tiny sound (or light from cell phone) seems to wake her up. So, when my alarm goes off she wakes up. Last friday, she was fully awake when my second alarm went off at 5:30. I usually turn off the second one before it goes off. But this time I was too busy helping her go back to sleep, I forgot all about it. So, she got up along with me. :-( I ended up doing my morning routine, cooking/packing lunches & snacks/ dressing up with her on my side. Which means each task takes twice as long. My mornings turn out to be unproductive. Im still figuring ways out to avoid this situation.
3. For me, weekend doesn't have a routine yet. So, it screws up all my efforts. I managed to be on track on Saturday. But Sunday, I woke up at 7:00! Monday at 6:30 and today at 6:00. It is a gradual improvement but not enough!
