Hello,
no I never do the earlier bedtime even when the cat nap is skipped. I have tried but it seems my son won't fall asleep until 7:30pm. After I deal with those 45min naps during the rest of the day---I am going to start working on getting him to catnap at the supperhour. Sometimed he ends up being awake for 3hours depending on when the last nap ends. The cat nap is very hard b/s my dh tens to comehome right at 5pm and then ds won't go to sleep.
