How to wake up a toddler?

I have to get mine (age 2) up at 6:15 and it can be a chore. My husband is in the police academy right now, and I drive an hour for work each way, so it's difficult. She sleeps pretty soundly. I just go in her room and try a gentle shake and , "hey baby girl, wake up." If that doesn't work, and it never does, I start opening and shutting drawers somewhat loudly when I get her clothes and just keep talking to her. Then, I knell down beside her bed. She's a very sociable child, so I start talking to her about how fun it will be to go play with the kids while mommy is at work. It takes about 10 minutes, and I get a few, whiney "no mommy"'s, but it works eventually. One or two noises won't do it. I just have to keep talking a little loudly.
