9.5 month old..afternoon nap refusal

[rubber_da_glove]

Until this weekend we had a good day going:

W/E 6am
solids 7
S 8.45-10
solids 11
S 1-3
E 4
solids 4.30
bed 6

But on Saturday he wouldn't take his morning nap and eventually passed out around 9.30 for about half an hour so I guessed he needed more A time. So yesterday I sorted the morning with a nap at 9-10.30 but he refused to nap in the afternoon, putting him down at 2. I know the idea will be to get him to have a short AM nap and long PM nap but should I wake him? I feel so happy that he's actually gone to sleep that I feel mean waking him  Anyway...am I right? What would my day look like? (he's a baby that responds better to big time changes and not 5 minuet increments)

Thank you

Have you read this:

Your pm is quite long.  Rather than making your first nap shorter you could just cut it back to 1.5 hours but I think you may need to tackle your A times first.

Your A times are short for 9.5 months.  Average time would be 3.5-4 hours at this age and I see your A times are 2.45/3/3 so you are right that he is probably looking for more A time. 

I would add 15 minutes to your first A time to start with.  Your day may end up with a slightly longer day during the 2-1 switch but thats usual. 

Would he handle more change than just one A time change?
