Keep your nap time as close to 1220pm as you can!  And cap it at 2 hrs again (if he doesn't).  It was an earlier morning, but he slept 10.5 hrs! 

I would have thought OT at the 2am wakeup ;)  I would keep his A time to bed at 5 hrs (not more than 5.5 for sure) with a 2 hr nap.

I would say 2hrs, with BT somewhere between 7-7.30 (depending on WU).  if he is really horrendously tired then you could allow up to 2.5hrs today (given the rough night) but I would definitely draw the line at that.
WRT to clairebear from the other day, here was today so far:
6:30 up
12:15-2:40 (woke on own)
So I will put him to bed at 7:45??

I know you are probably getting annoyed with me but I am really frustrated right now.  :(
Here was today
up 6:30
12:15-2:40 woke on own
BT was going to be 7:45 but he was wired and I couldnt even think about putting him down b/c after the nights we have been having he would have woke at 6 or earlier....so I let him stay up until 8:30.  I am hoping this gets us to at least 7 or 7:30 tomorrow....I think the EW's for him are UT.  He is used to going to bed much later than 7:45 or 8 and I just dont think he's tired enough....so we will see.  If he NWs again screaming it must be teeth.  But he doesnt really seem fussy during the day and the only teeth he has left are bottom canines....

I agree that he is likely UT for BT any earlier hun... the only way to really make his night longer is to cap that nap ;)

Kara,  i am ok w a later Bt. He doesn't really need to get up until 8 now. I'm just trying to get him more than 10 hrs at night and not sure how to do that.  But we both know he's never slept more than 11 at night so if i could get that i would be happy. :) do u think 830 sounds decent for tonight? Im hoping we don't have earlier than 7 wakeup.  ;-)

I would do 815ish...

The only way to get his night longer is to cap his nap hun... at this age, nap sleep really takes away from night sleep and it isn't 15 mins:15 mins either...   With Alexandra, 15mins more nap will give me 30 mins less at night.
