So off schedule- ideas?

The past 2 weeks DH and I have been off from work and DD hasnt been going into daycare.  Between traveling for the holidays and parties, she's not been on her normal routine.  To top it all off, she just dropped the 3rd nap- making her crankier in the evenings and more tired at night. Usually she'd go to bed at 730 but now she's been going down at like 630.

She's been waking up at 730-8am all week, but when i go to work, she needs to wake up at 630.  Typically she gets up on her own, I dont need to wake her up. 

Do you think I should start today getting her back on schedule?  IOr should I just wait till Monday and let her get herself back into the routine as we all go back to work?  ts been nice not having to wake up early!!  But I also dont want to totally throw her off! ~TIA!

Re: So off schedule- ideas?

  • Our DD is totally off, too, but we love our sleep too much to wake her up early.  :-)  She's been going to bed later and getting up later.  I figure she'll just have a cranky day on Monday, go to bed early that night and be back to normal in a day or two.

    I think screwing up their schedules is the worst part of the holidays and travel!  Several times there were days that she only got 90 minute naps in the car...and she usually takes a 2 1/2-3 hour nap in her crib.  I have no idea how we're going to do this next year with two...
