Hi All
So my dd is 15 months and we managed to get her down to a 1/2 hour late first nap and hour second nap this past week.  Today we tried one nap but unfortunately on the way back from church she fell asleep in the car.  So I was aiming for this....
615am wake
1145am-however long one nap
745pm bed
Instead she fell asleep at 11am.
So I am inclined to let her have the long one nap.  I'm concerned about her lasting until bed.  Her bed is usually 8 but I was dropping it to 745.  Perhaps I should drop it earlier?  Or should we try to squeeze a catnap?  Or maybe cap this nap and do a late catnap.
Thoughts? And now she missed lunch at 11.

Still sleeping.  She was in a deep sleep. Had her hand in her snack cup. too cute.  :)  I should point out she has always gotten less sleep then the average.  She has been doing 10 to 10 1/2 hour night sleep and 1 1/2-2 hour total naps.  I'm thinking she needs 12 hours a day.  So that's were I hesitate with how early to go to bed.

If you got a decent nap, I'd stick with a 12/12.5h day depending on nap length

She slept 11 to 1215pm, I asked her if she wanted story time and nap. She said no.  Usually does not protest.  So she is hanging in so far, not too cranky.  A little clumsy. We are going to dinner a little earlier. Bath after dinner and maybe 7 715pm bed instead of 745 or 8.  Sound ok?

Sounds like a plan! Good luck x

Ps - how does your LO fare with OT? Just thinking 1h15m for a 13h day might be a push? What do you think?

She went down easy at 7pm.  She woke once for about 20 minutes around 1130pm.  Then slept through until 615.  We didn't have any melt downs and seemed in good spirits.  I think she is pretty adjusted to 13 hour day. Her bed time has been 8pm for weeks and her wake up around 630am.  We had issues over the last four months with nw/ew various causes (travel, sick, teething).  We got off track so much I wasn't sure were she should be.  Started logging her sleep and adjusting naps and capping.  She sttn 4 times in the last week or so finally.   She lasted longer today. 
615am wake up
11am lunch
12pm-120pm nap
Not sure if I should stick to 7 for bed again. 
Her cousin was over to play most of the day.

I would. If you think she's really tired, I'd do BT 15m earlier at best but try and stick
As closely to your routine if that makes sense?
