Procure put him to bed every night at the same time. On weekends it is normal for bedtime to be delayed a little longer, but try not to make big changes. A good rest is essential to make waking up the next morning more pleasant.
When it comes to waking your little one, Sneak in and don't turn on the light. Open just a little blinds or curtains so you don't get too much light at once.
Wake him up in a soft voice, hugging and caressing him. If the first thing you see when you open your eyes is your smile, you will have a better awakening. You can also play short music or talk about the plans for that day. Music usually works very well in these cases.
