I honestly don't think this is weird, but my friend was a bit at this, and I can't see why?!
DS gets up between 6am - 7am (if you discount the night wakings!), he plays for a bit, has breakfast, waves goodbye to Dad and then he and I play/tidy/tickle etc.
He then gives his nap indications anytime between 9am and 10am, which is usually dictated by how well he's slept and when he woke.
Other than required nappy changes, I don't get him out of his PJ's, so that when he has his nap he goes back in his Grobag and I feel he is comfier than if he was up and dressed. At the end of the nap, he gets up, washed and dressed and we have the rest of the day to do things. He only has one nap per day, but usually sleeps for about 2 hours, which means I can do my job as I'm a WAHM.
Obviously, if we have something to do in the morning, I dress him when he wakes and we do whatever is required.
My friend popped round with some stuff on her way to work after dropping her DS off at nursery, came in, saw DS in his PJ's and asked why he wasn't dressed and was he ill? I of course said no and explained as above.
She was a bit and said that she always dressed her DS first thing so that he would "know" that that's what people do in the morning.
Now, I could see her point if DS was older, but he's only just 1 so I don't think he'll come to harm (probably!) and as he grows, his routine will change and adapt; but she was so adamant that I was wrong that I'm now feeling a bit wobbly about my choices IYSWIM.
Tell me, oh wise Mumsnetters, am I "eccentric"? Should DS be dressed first thing? Or, as I suspect, is this fine and I should stop stressing?!
