Normally DS takes two naps. He'll go down around 9:30 then wake between 10:30 and 11:30. Next nap is usually around 2 or 3 until nearly 4. Bedtime between 7:30 and 8:30.
He went down at 9:30. It's 12:10. Do I let him sleep or wake him to hopefully go back down at 3:00? He's 17 months old.

Hmm, my 18 month takes one nap around 12. I would let him sleep!

I would wake him up. My son was on two naps for a long time and going too long between the afternoon nap and bedtime was a recipe for disaster!

@autumnlove: If his nap had started at noon, I wouldn't have had an issue.
@looch: Thankfully he woke up just as I was about to go get him. It's 12:40 now and I'm hoping I can coax him down for a brief nap later this afternoon. He gets really cranky and melodramatic if he goes too long between nap and bed time too.

And he just rather cutely handed me his blanket and pacifier before going and sitting back down to his water and snack. He was all, "Don't need these, mom. Gotta go eat my Goldfish."

@mediagirl: *snort* It's a beanbag chair. I have video from yesterday where DS keeps throwing himself on to the beanbag and giggling!

@NaturallyCathy: I know! I love it and want to know where you got it! If you say, "from my parents' basement in 1985" I'll keel over.

@mediagirl: Essex circa two months ago. Essex is kinda sorta like a NBD store (but no affiliation) - things that have been returned, opened boxes, damaged boxes, clearance, etc. The longer it's there, the more it gets discounted (10% - 90%) off the ticket price. I think it cost us $12 for a large bean bag
We use t all the time. And 1985? Wasn't born yet!

Good news is that I did manage to coax him down for another hour long nap in addition to his three hour long nap this morning. We're still mostly on track for his normal bed time tonight. I hope he doesn't fight it too badly!
