Did anyone put their 1 year old on one nap a day?

I put AJ on one nap about a month ago at 13 months.  I thought he was showing me signs at 12 months, but no.  What really did it was that he'd take his morning nap no problem, but his awake times just kept getting longer and longer.  He sometimes wouldn't take the afternoon nap, and when he did, it was hard to fit it in the day so that he'd still have a long enough awake time before bed.  He now sleeps around 12:30ish - 2:30ish, everday, waking between 6:30 and 8:00 in the morning depending if it's a daycare day or not.
-His naps used to be a slightly different times depending on his wake time for the day because he was very religious about his awake times, like 3.25 hours exactly, lol.
-But now, he just seems to associate 12:30pm with sleep time.

How's it going for you now?

Thanks for asking Sonja!

Well for the past few days, it kind of just worked that Joey has been sleeping on the "go" in the morning for 15-30 mins in the car.  Then takes a nap around 1:30 until 3:30ish (sometimes 4:15ish).  today because of Mother's Day, I put him in his crib at 10:00 am and he's having NONE of it.  He's crying   I think he's used to going to sleep later and sleeping 30 mins. 

I'm thinking of putting him in earlier than 1:30 for his nap though but not sure if he'd go because of the catnap in the morning.  But he does wake up a few times with "mantra" cries at nap time in the afternoon.  So I am wondering if I put him in earlier if he'd sleep a bit longer with the catnap.

Hmmm, worth a try!
