DS only takes one nap from 11-1:15 or so now. We have lunch after that and an afternoon activity. From 5:00 - 7:00 when we eat dinner I run out of steam and I've been putting him in his crib for 1/2 hour or so to just chill which I've never done before.

He doesn't seem to mind the first 15 minutes or so and then he stands there and kind of chats to himself or throws his stuffed animals around. We disassembled the pack and play, he just seems too old for it now.

Is it a mistake to expect him to hang out in his crib for a half hour? The only alternative I could think of would be to set up the pack and play again but it was becoming a place to dump toys and he really prefers the crib as it's cozier.

It's fine....right (say yes say yes!) but seriously be honest. It's maximum 1/2 hour. If he seemed distressed I'd obviously go get him but he seems ok (not thrilled though) PLEASE BE HONEST.
