What time does your toddler who still naps go to sleep?
@geranium 3 and a half years old.
Weekdays :
6:45 - Wake up
~1-3/2-4 (some shift within those ranges)
7:30 - bedtime routine
8:00 - In bed
8:30-10 - Asleep
Weekends
8:00 - Wake Up
2:30-4:30/3-4:45 Nap...or just quiet time for an hour/hour and a half in there if he can't fall asleep
7:30 start the same bedtime routine as Weekdays.

@geranium Kid just turned 3.
Sometimes he naps and sometimes he doesn’t.
He COULD nap for like 3 hours during the day if we let him lol
Sometimes we do allow a long nap depending on what’s going on that day.
But typically, during the work week, I try to avoid a nap.
My son was definitely someone with a late bedtime for a longggg time. But as he gets gotten a little older and he skips his nap during the day, he’s started falling asleep anywhere between 7:30-9:00. But it’s not like we’re sitting around waiting. I just mean he’s showing sleepiness signs anytime in this range.
Prior to this, with a nap, we were trying to get him in bed and calming down between 9 and 10
You will have days where he’s crabby earlier in the evening. But we got thru this. He adjusted finally and it’s been great ever since.
Sometimes u just have to let them go to bed early. It suck’s but usually my kid will still sleep the entire night time even when he does something weird like fall asleep at 5:30 or 6 pm lol I guess it’s his way of combining his nap and bedtime. And probably going thru a growth spurt.
Also while working thru this, offer him dinner earlier. It seems to help w the evening crabbines and in case he does fall asleep early he’s got some food in his belly.

Wake up 7:15-7:45
Nap 1-3 when home (1-2 on nursery days 2x per week)
Up to bed 8pm and asleep sometime between 8:30 and 9pm
She's had days she's refused a nap and been ok (although goes a bit manic around 5:30/6) and days she's not napped until 4 and I've let her have 20-30 mins in the car.
Seems no matter whether the nap is 30 min or 2+ hours bedtime and wake up time stay pretty constant.
I'm going to hold on to those 2 hour midday naps as long as I can. Only way to get anything done on the weekends!
