So we have had a crazy day...my son (2 1/2) fell asleep in the car at 6:30...His bedtime is usually between 9:30 and 10. Would you have your child just sleep the night now? or would you wake them up and deal with them being cranky.
And, just so everyone is aware and I dont get bashed, we normally have a pretty good schedule. I have been sick and we were at the er for myself for most of the day, then had to hit the grocery store before the storm comes tomorrow. But this is something that has happened before and I never know which I should do...so figured Id see what other moms would do.
Um...I would let him sleep if he will stay asleep all night. My son wouldnt sleep through the night, so i would probably wake him up.
Im sure he would sleep the night, just be up at 6am...which Im fine with.
Let him sleep!

If we wake our daughter after she falls asleep after 6pm- She is up ALL night. literally until like 4am! It is so hard. So I try to get her to stay alseep if she can. If he needs the sleep, He will sleep! My daughter is 3! I try not to let her go to sleep that early. but if it happens, it happens! Good Luck in your decision.
I would let him sleep if you think he will continue sleeping through the night. I know with our kids we have to take into consideration how tired they are. If it was a long rough day then they will sleep through the night but if they fell asleep on a fluke of bordom then we wake them up or they will be up all night till about 3-5 am.
