Never Wake a Sleeping Baby?
I am about to do something stupid.
We were out running errands and came home about an hour later than the Pickle’s regular afternoon naptime. I’d been counting on him falling asleep while we were out and taking his nap on the run, but it didn’t work out that way, and so instead of going down at 3:30, he went down at 4:30 when we came home.
Now it’s 5:45 and he’s still asleep. Normally an extra-long nap would be cause for celebration, but this one is threatening to encroach on bedtime. Which means I’m about to break the cardinal rule of parenthood and wake him up so he’ll have time to eat and play and bathe and still go to bed more or less on time.
He’s gonna be pissed.
Oh well. Wish me luck!
[Update: He was actually awake and playing with the zipper on his sleepsack when I went in, just not making any noise. So all was well in the house of Pickle.]
