So, I goofed. I have a coworker/friend coming over tomorrow evening at 7:30 to sit at my apartment while DS sleeps and I go on date #2 with Cute Dad. I forgot until today that weekend bedtimes are usually a little later than weeknight bedtimes since he takes both a morning and afternoon nap.
Another friend has agreed to take DS for a couple of hours tomorrow afternoon so I can get an oil change and clean my bathroom (exciting stuff, I know), and the time we agreed to was 11-2 ish.
It's a little after 8 PM and I just got DS to sleep, which is totally normal for Sat and Sun. What would you suggest I do tomorrow?
-Ask my coworker/friend if she can come later? (If you did this, would you also ask if she could stay a little later?) This would also push the date later which is less of an issue
-Try to reschedule with my afternoon-friend and get DS to take a single nap during that time slot (like he does at DC), and hope for an earlier bedtime?
-Let DS take his morning nap, maybe cut it short, and only let him take a short afternoon nap when he gets home that afternoon?
-Let DS take his morning nap, as long as he wants, and then skip any afternoon nap in hopes of an early bedtime?
Frick, is this really complicated, or am I making it that way? I am also a little freaked about leaving DS in the evening. I'm so worried that will be the night he decides to wake up after 2 hours and be traumatized when I'm not there :-S
Thanks, Luxannie. I am going to try the one nap thing, if I can reschedule with afternoon-friend.
I guess I'm just worried because DS doesn't really know this coworker/friend, and he still nurses all the damn time. She's probably just going to have to bring him out into the living room to wait up for me.
I'll just try to remind myself that nothing is truly ideal in life. And take deep breaths lol
Re: Ack - help me plan naps tomorrow?
