My DS is coming up to nearly being 3 and a half and he is still having a day sleep.

I dont really want him too, but sometimes there is nothing I can do about him nodding off if I'm busy with DD (nearly 10 months) who can be quite demanding at times....

Most of the time he'll be fine up until around 2pm then he will crash for sometimes up to 2 / 2.5 hours so waking up that late means he is no where near ready for bed until we hit the sack as late as 11pm sometimes......if I wake him up after about 1/2 an hour or so he usually throws a tanty (as I would probably do too after just dozing off for a nice sleep!)

I feel bad for him because I cant dedicate my time to him sometimes and the lack of attention leads him to do something boring like watch TV and causing him to nod off...

I'm just at a loss as to how to keep him awake when I cant run around the yard or do anything active with him to keep him going. He usually has his bath then goes to his room to watch a DVD but never stays in there as he's not tired...

It's very draining having a little one who doesnt sleep well at all during the day OR night and a toddler that is up until we go to bed who talks non stop and has a very vivid imagination!

Any suggestions?

Thanks ladies! Just venting makes me feel better!
