An early bird catches the worm

I really don't get it after whom he is such an early riser. His both parents are such sleep-lovers. This whole week he has been waking up before 6, more like little after 5, today even before 5am, the only exception he made on Tuesday, then he woke up at 6:30, but it was only because he was screaming from 22 till midnight. Is there anything which can be done about it? I moved his bedtime half hour later, of course it didn't help, but it should soon, no? How is he supposed to go to the kindergarten if he wakes up so early? Would a week of a total exhaustion help? 
I tried today a "stone tactic" - not successfully - I had to sing to keep him from screaming, fell asleep several times (him probably too), but were awake in a few minutes...after an hour, I gave up. A little bit later I put him in Tula and he's sleeping on my back...I don't dare to put him down because he might wake up and the screaming party might start again.
I hope it is just a phase, which is going to pass very very soon. And we have high hopes for the second baby, we are sure it is going to be a super-sleeper to make up for all those adventures we have with its brother.

    What time does he go to sleep? How many hours does he sleep from 24h?
    Is it light in the room at this time, when he wakes up or does he wake up even if it's dark?

    And what I found: If your child is awake at 6:00 or 6:30 a.m., cheerful, refreshed, and ready to start his day-even if you aren’t-you’ll probably have to live with it. That’s a common and biologically appropriate wake-up time for a baby or small child.
    But if it's earlier than that, it should be fixed.
