Ds is 2 and a half, and usually has a nap after lunch for a couple of hours. Lately it's just been a total nightmare to get him down to sleep, it used to take 20 minutes, now I'm lucky if I can get him to sleep before 2. Obviously then he sleeps till 4 ish and the whole day is wasted, not to mention bedtime being all out of sync.
Once he's asleep, he's fine, and if he doesn't sleep he's vile by about 5, but I can't spend over an hour putting him to bed - it's stressing me out and wasting my day, not to mention the fact that dd is getting sorely neglected.
I can hear him in his room just chuntering away to himself and it's driving me insane. I want to scream GO TO FUCKING SLEEP in his face but fear that might be slightly counterproductive.
