nap transitions

I. Hate. Them.

My formerly often-pretty-decent sleeper woke up at 4:45am this morning because switching to one nap is screwing him all up (we'd already made the time change earlier in the week so that wasn't the main reason, although it contributed).  He was so desperately tired mid-morning but I knew he wouldn't go down in his crib (from this week's past experience), so I carried him around in his carrier out of desperation, and he slept for a half hour.  That short of a nap (and not even a highly restful one when he's being bounced around a bit) would normally leave a good afternoon nap ripe for picking, but NO!  Now, he is not going down this afternoon even though he's been incarcerated for the last 1.5hrs.  He's not crying much.  I'm holding out a little longer.  What a waste of a day, and to only have had an early, jostled micronap all day...sigh.  This will not help.  I miss when he was waking up toward 7 on the 2-nap routine.
