Back to 2 naps??

[newmama12]

Is it 'normal' for my almost 20 month old to want to go back to 2 naps??? We've been having some horrible meltdown tired issues around 10:30am and she wants to go 'nigh-nigh'.
J's been on one nap for about 4 months now and it's always been around 11:45-12. She's an early riser, so noon is the latest she was making it. She use to do fine. No melt downs or anything. The past few days, I'm having to leave playgroups, classes and such b/c she's horribly fussy and crying and screaming and wants to go to bed at 10:30am?!?! The problem is that she still only naps 1.5 hours. So, she's been going down at 11 and up at 12:30. There's no way she can, calmly, make it till 7pm, her bedtime. Do I try for a 2nd nap again or do I do early bedtime like 6pm??

I just don't understand why she's wanting to go to nap so soon now?

This happens sometimes with us.  Most recently  it was while we were visiting relatives over T'giving.  Isaac would get OT, & occasionally, he just could NOT handle any more stimulation.  So we'd put him back to bed at 10 or so.  When this happens, we try for a 2nd nap.  It's usually not as long as he needs, so he usually gets an early bedtime, too.  HTH

We are the same over here as well.  Relatives were visiting for the weekend and there were too much excitement and not enough sleep.  I'm not going to push the one nap issue when this happens.  DD was the same.  She really needed a nap on Monday but wouldn't nap so I just just kinda mellow out in front of the tv.  They both had an early bedtime last night.
