Good morning everyone 
Just wanted to get some opinions on my own almost 4 year old DS.
DS has been resisting naps for a couple of months now but will nap a couple of times per week. (He needs a nap but won't sleep...he gets SO cranky by 4pm, it is unbearable.) He gives me the hardest time out of all the DCKS because he is just so miserable all afternoon and that is my busy time since I have all SA DCKS.
I have noticed however that he gets really tired around 10:30am and I can't go anywhere with him in the car at that time because he keeps almost falling alseep and will force himself to cry instead of sleeping...it drives me crazy! I keep thinking - Just Sleep!!!
He is also STARVING by 11am for lunch and starving again around 4:30 for supper even though he has had a decent snack. He cries and whines for an hour for food while the DCKS are here.
Right now he has AM snack at 10:00, lunch at 11:30pm, nap at 12:30, snack at 3pm and then supper at 5:30.
What if I tried putting him for a nap at 10:30 after AM snack? Then he could have a late lunch around 1pm. I was thinking it might keep him more satisfied until supper and maybe he would sleep at 10:30 because he does get so sleepy and by 12:30 he is overtired and won't sleep.
WWDY? Anyone have or have had a 3 YO on this type of routine?
