My 2.5 year old ds has never gone to bed early. While all his little friends have been doing 7-7 forever , he collapses anytime between 10 and 11.30! He rarely seems tired the next day, gets up between 7 and 7.30 when we do and has a nap in the afternoon for about an hour. I have tried to get rid of this but he isn't ready, gets very grumpy in the afternoon and then gets new lease of life in the evening and may go down 15 mins earlier max! I am happy that he doesn't go down too early as i like him to have time with his Dad when he gets back from work, plus we live in Italy and it is very orientated to being able to take kids out in the evening for walks etc, especially when it's hot and we avoid going out in the day. But something in the middle would be nice. Last night he was bouncing up and down on our bed at 10.30! Finally collapsed gone 11. This is pretty normal behaviour for him. Is anyone else in the same boat? I have tried all the tips re bedtime to get him into a routine and nothing has worked so am feeling a bit resigned to my fate, would just like to know it's not just us
