DS usually sleeps 7:30/8:00p - 6:00/7:00 am and naps 12:30ish to 2:30ish. We were at a party this afternoon so he didn't get a nap. He feel asleep in the car on the way home at about 3:30 and is still sleeping now (4:30). How late do I let him sleep without totally screwing up bedtime? He'll pobably be a grump if I wake him now but I don't want to totally screw up bedtime either. Ugh. I hate this.

Re: how late to let him sleep?
I'd wake him up.
My DD has MDO 2 days/week in the afternoon and she doesn't nap early those days. I only let her nap 1 hour when she gets home and she's grumpy, but otherwise she won't go to sleep at night.
We have to get DS up by 3:30 or he will not go to sleep till 10pm.
DS usually naps 12:30-3, but we had an open house till 2. we came home and he was asleep at 2:05, we woke him at 3:30, and am hoping we can tire him out enough for a normal bed time, but more likely he will not fall asleep till close to 9 instead of 8.
