1:20 nap - not crying but won't go back to sleep?

[~Jen~]

If my LO wakes up early from his nap 1hr20mins isn't crying, lays in his cot but won't go back to sleep (although seems sleepy with yawns) what do you do? He seems happy to just hangout in the cot and play. Do you just let him stay there until I would have normally woke him up?

From looking at your routine your LO is only doing 1.5hrs before his AM nap. Perhaps this awake time needs to be extend a little try 5mins at a time and see how that goes.
