This age has been a bit tricky I'm finding (had a thread not too long ago myself). I mean, overall we're not having major issues, but I am having a hard time getting a handle on what T needs and we seem to keep getting caught in OT/UT loops despite having the same routine every day. Anyways, he is managing 12-13hrs total sleep, 10.5-11hrs at night and a 2hr nap usually. But he keeps throwing me for a loop and will enter these phases where he's a little monkey and will refuse a nap or resist bedtime. We have occasional NWings and EWs. What I think keeps happening is on nights he sttn, 11hrs or so, I stick to our usual routine with a 2hr nap and then the following night he is UT and has a few wakings. Then because of the wakings he gets OT and I have to get him caught up the next day. He's been very difficult to read! Well, our typical day right now is:
6:30 wake
12:30-2:30 nap
8 bed
I am slowly trying to move bedtime up more, it was actually 8:30 not long ago but that was too late. He used to sleep until 7 pretty consistenly but lately has been getting up earlier.
His nap is pretty consistent, I usually have to wake him but like I said sometimes he will throw me for a loop and refuse it, or wake after only an hour or so. One day on a skipped or short nap doesn't ruin us, he will often sttn after that, but if I don't do damage control he gets OT quickly. I've been trying to stay one step ahead, but it's hard! 2 year olds are like little Jekyll and Hydes!
