We've had long days in the park both days this weekend. Yesterday LO only had a 45-minute nap and today we were all pooped after the park and lunch that we came home and took a nap together at 4. We didn't set an alarm and DH and I woke up around 10:30 pm. I'm still in bed with LO. I'm pretty sure we just royally screwed up her sleep schedule. She's probably going to wake up at 3 am ready for the day.
Have you screwed up your toddler's sleep due to naps?

On Saturday M napped from 11:45am until we finally woke her up at 4:30pm!!!!! That's right.... A 4 hour and 45 minutes nap. I thought we were royally screwed. Nope. She did go down late - 8:45.... But she slept straight through until 7:15am. I was shocked. I think the heat just takes a lot out of them and sometimes they need to catch up on sleep!

Not totally due to naps but yesterday lo took a shorter than usual nap and so I thought I'd try to get her back on our time zone (from a three hr difference) but I should have waited longer to put her down because she slept about four hours and then was just up, no real reason, just not tired enough to fall asleep. She'd drift off (or so it seemed) and be up again. Four times over a couple hours I think. I waited awhile to put her down tonight, hopefully that's the fix!

How did it go? I've done stuff like that before with D. It doesn't ruin a whole week but it's frustrating for a day or 2.

@Dandelion: She slept until 5 am! Pretty good, considering the time she fell asleep. She will most likely take a late morning nap instead of afternoon so her schedule won't be that out of whack.

@mrsjazz: That's impressive! Glad it didn't mess your day up too much!

Thats great! My daughter has had some days like that (bed at 5 or 6) and slept through the night. Its great but she has a lot of energy the next day!

I put him down late Friday night even though he had a short nap and he only slept 845-630. Then Saturday we went camping and he only napped an hour (in his stroller after not napping in crib for 2 hours!) and refused to go to sleep until 930. Sunday night we attempted early bedtime but he cried from 715-745 until he passed out. And was up at 630. Sleep is pretty regular for us and we are just so screwed up and crabby.
