OMG! hubby and I went out for dinner last night for his b-day and grandma and grandpa came over to watch him.  We got home at 8:45pm and he was still up!  Hubby was not impressed as he should of been in bed at 7:30 ( 6hr A time) or 8pm latest! They know he is in bed for 8!  Well i guess it worked out ok though as he woke up at 6:45 this A.M. thank goodness.

Hope dinner was fun!

Well at least it turned out for the best!!

I think you are doing the right thing following his cues and I think the naps will be quite varied from now on just cos of the age.

well then i don;t feel so bad adn won't worry so much anymore.  I have always had to worry about his naps as he was never a good sleeper till around 1 year.  I always had to go by A time and follow a schedule strickly with him, it took me a long time to figure out how to figure him out!  I never had that wonderful sleeper at all like others do.... :(   So now that we finally got it all straightened out after he went to 1 nap a day it was all good till lately when it's up and down.  I put him down today at 12:30 and he fell asleep at 12:40 after a moment of " mommy done" bit again.   But it's 2:16 now and he's still sleeping :)

Ryan was rarely a good sleeper either :P Fine over night but 30min naps tops 3 times a day (very rare he went over that :P). Then when he went down to 1 nap it got much better.  But he didn fight it in the months leading up to dropping that nap, perhaps your lo is doing the same.

Glad you feel more relaxed about it! :-*

 well i jinked myself too soon..... He was rubbing his eyes all am on and off, we went for a bike ride and around 11:30 he fell asleep during the bike ride!  As soon as i realized it i woke him up and kept him up the rest of the way home.  Well i guess that whole 2 min really screwed things up as at 12:30 for nap it took him 1hr to finally settle to sleep!!!! I went in several time adn told him to stop talking it was nap time now but as soon as i left he went right back to his ways.....  So it will be a shorter nap today and i hope he's not grumpy....
