1hr 10min nap sounds like OT which ties in with him napping late. I would go for an earlier BT, a later one will just make the OT worse. FX!

I'm up for the challenge.  Early bed time it is.  We're off to run some errands and wear him out for the night.  Then a good dinner, bath and bed time.  If I could only do the same for myself, I'd be a happy Mommy.  I mean, seriously.  If I had the chance, I would go to bed early too and try to sleep in.  Lucky kid.

It was actually an ok night last night :)  He didn't get to bed early.  We had a small snafu, so he went down at his normal bed time of  7:45, but then he slept until 6:30!! I honestly think he might have slept longer, but I forgot to put him in a size 5 diaper for night time so he had a small accident.  Woke up wet.  Mommy fail. 

We had a rough day at preschool this morning. It's only his 2nd week (6th day total), so he's having some trouble getting settled into the routine.  I'm a teacher at the same school, and unfortunately he saw me out with my class a couple of times and that made it worse.  I think he wore himself out.  :( His teachers are great with him, but I'm sure this SA has an affect on his sleep, too. 

I feel like a bad mommy, but I know things will get better.  We both just have to hang in there.  And now this post has gone off topic.  Back to sleep issues.  He's napping now; we got down right on time, so I am hoping for a good 2hr nap, and then we will have a great afternoon from there.  Power of positive thought and all :) 

Thanks for letting me vent,

I'm still grinning and bearing it; he only napped for an hour.  He lay quietly in his crib for about a half an hour longer after waking up, but nap was only an hour.  So...  bed time.  I'm guessing early, but I'm going to try to follow him.  Last night he probably should have gone down early, but he was happy and active and not showing any tired signs.  And he didnt EW too badly.  So today, I'm going to try the same thing - watching him for sleepy cues and trying not to stress.  I think he can pick up on my silent hysteria.
