good. or crap.

DS's naps have been terrible today.  Not sure why - it's definitely not because he isn't tired, but whatever.  He's been absolutely miserable and whiney (which is typical tired Oliver).  I tried to get him down about an hour ago for a brief afternoon nap, but no go.  But he's just so unhappy.  So at 5pm I made a really half-assed nap attempt, never thinking it would work - honestly it was just to pass the time with my cranky boy.  He actually fell asleep. 

The only problem - it's 5pm.  Tonight is DH's company Christmas party, which I wanted to leave for no later than 7:30 (and still be late, possibly missing dinner).  I can't imagine he's going to be ready to go down again at 7:30, even if this turns out to be the world's shortest nap.  And he's never gone to bed without me.  So now we either get to the party super late or my mom has to try to figure out how to get him down without me.  Ugh.

I never thought my life would be ruled by naps.

You might be surprised, he might still be ready for bed at normal time.  Sometimes I'll put DS down as late as 5:30 and he'll sleep for a half hour but is still ready for bed.  Hopefully he goes down for you tonight!  Have fun at the party.

GL!  I try to limit DS's last nap of the dayto 30 minutes otherwise he'll be in the jumpie @ midnight!

I think you should go at 7:30 or even earlier! I'm sure your mom can handle him for a little bit. I also find that late naps still mean a normal bedtime! Have fun!
