One nap vs two

According to friends and family, my daughter was a little unusual... she continued to take 2 naps every day well into her second year. I think a lot of it was that she (and I) were used to the routine and we kept it. While we were on Christmas vacation, she only took one nap a day if we were lucky. I knew she was ready, I just had to bite the bullet and change the routine. Part of me was scared.... I enjoyed the quiet time and that was when I got my housework done.

Once my husband went back to work after New Year's, we made the change and now just do one nap on most days. Usually right after lunch. This seems to work really well 90% of the time... even if there are days were "lunch" is at 10:45....

One of my bigger concerns was not having time to get house work done and still have a little bit of "me" time during the day. That has been a complete non issue and it's actually easier to get everything done. Even though we are down to 1 nap, our little one still sleeps for 2 - 3 hours. Since we are having one long nap instead of 2 short naps, I don't have to rush as much to get all the work done, so I am more relaxed once my little princess wakes up.
