Thanks for the reply.
Our routine is:
between 6:15 and 6:30 I get him up (he is always awake and quiet...so I really don't know when he actually wakes...I just get him at that same time each morning - he is just laying there and quiet
we have normal eat and activity times and I was putting him down around 1:00 (used to be around 11 and I kept pushing it later as he could handle it since he was getting older)
He was falling right asleep with in 10 minutes and easy....then about a week ago he is skipping naps...laying there and just talking to himself - not fussing but not sleeping...
I always woke him by 3:30 at the latest if he did nap...sometimes it would take him 30 minutes to get to sleep.....
Today I tried a 2:00 nap .... he fell asleep around 2:30 and I woke him at 3:30 and he was super sensitive and teary b/c I woke him...I never usually had to wake him so soon after he had fallen asleep. His bed time has always been early...6:00 but since we now have another little one..it has been pushed to anywhere between 6:30 and 6:45 (sometimes 6:55)...I try to keep it consistent but sometimes he takes longer going to the bathroom or eating dinner....I just try to go with the flow.....
(yesterday he did nap at 1:30 - 3:30 but that was b/c he was a little under the weather)
Should I try to keep the 6:30 bed time if he doesn't nap? I am still planning on keeping at least an hour of the calm room time....I think if he was up and active he would break down at dinner (that has happened before)
Thanks for the help
Oh - he is quiet at night when I put him down so I don't always know exactly when he falls asleep.
