So, we need to be out the door at 10:30AM, and LO normally wakes up at 7, which means his morning nap starts around 9:30-ish. To accommodate for this outing, should I wake him up earlier from his night sleep or cut his morning nap short? So confuzzled!

How long does he usually nap for?

I would probably opt to cut his nap short . . . you can always adjust the other naps during the day to compensate (move them up a bit . . . or move up bed time a bit).

@regberadaisy: He usually naps for 1.5 hours.
He has been doing some two hour naps lately too in the morning, but then skipping his second nap entirely for the past two days. Weird.@MsLipGloss: Ooooh, this sounds good.

@cranberryapple: Can you put him down a little earlier? That's what I usually do if we need to be out by X time before she generally wakes up. I find if I cut her morning nap short she is cranky the rest of the day! But that's just my LO.

I would do the same as @regberadaisy:. LO is one that needs to wake up on her own terms...
-
@regberadaisy: Oh, you mean like put him down for his nap earlier? I can certainly try! There aren't many places we need to be so we've rarely cut any sleeping short, so I forget how he is afterwards. I do know when I wake him up, he is cranky/cry-y at that very moment.

@cranberryapple: yup. My LO usually takes her first nap on the weekends anywhere between 8:30-9:30 depending on her mood. So if I need to be somewhere then I will put her down at 8:30 for her nap. In your case I might try 9:00.

@regberadaisy: Okie, I'll try that for fun! He usually tends to play around in his crib if I put him down too early though. We shall see! =P
