Today's nap is terrible

DCKate

DD usually wakes up between 8 and 9 each morning. She goes down for a nap around 1pm and sleeps until 3:30 or 4pm. Not today. She was grumpy and refused to nap until 4:30.

I couldn't keep her awake, she passes out on the floor. If I let her sleep for two hours, bedtime will happen around midnight, which is unacceptable. But, will I be rewarded for waking her up at 5:30 with an angry, screaming kid with a bedtime of who knows?

Sorry for the silly question, but this has never happened. Her naps are so predictable. Ugh!'

I always just lay DD down for bed at the same time, no matter when her last nap ended and we've never had a problem with that.

I have found that DS rarely will nap after 4. I think in your situation I would have tried to let her sleep for only an hour.

I am the same as @thisdecaflife for the most part. Sometimes I will push bedtime by max an hour but that's only when his last nap ends within 1 hour of bed time because he likes to have his nightly dinner, play, bath, book routine.
