I almost feel like I have no business complaining about this...LOL...most providers say the kids don't sleep long enough.
And Im really not complaining - I'm just curious and a teensy bit concerned.
My dck's - ages 3 to 5.5, mostly 4 year olds - sleep like dead people. They are begging to go to nap at 12:30, I put them down around 12:45....they will easily sleep past 4 pm. All twelve of them. I have to wake them all up - and I don't mean call their names or pat them...I have to take their covers off and stand them up, and walk them to the potty. If I wake them up before 3:30 or 3:45, they're ogres.
None of the parents say they have trouble getting them to bed at night...one of my longest sleepers' mom said she goes to bed at 8.
They have a full morning...we play A LOT indoors. They play in the hot sun, they drink lots of water, they eat a big lunch, pee/poop and then pass out. When they get up they potty, eat snack and then play either indoors or out.
So am I wrong for not waking them? They eat snack pretty late, but they don't seem to have a problem with it. I also get TONS of planning, decorating, cleaning, etc done...but I just feel bad because they spend a good 1/3 of their day sleeping.
