Confused about EASY?

[newmaze]

I have been doing 3.5 hr easy, following what I learned from the Samples, and it is working well... but today my dd woke up at a different time than usual - not a problem.  Anyhow she woke at 7:30, so my EASY so far has looked like this:
E: 7:30
A: 8:00 - 9
S: 9:00 - 10:30 (woke) 1.5 hr nap

E: 11:00
A: 11:30 - 1:00
S:  Now....

Now, I know she is supposed to be awake for 2 hours during that 2nd easy, but here is my question.... Isn't she really up for 2.5 hours if she could stay awake for the suggested 1:00 nap time??  She woke at 10:30??  Confused.....seems like a long time for her age?

I don't think 1.5 hours is too long for her age. If she seems sleepy then let her nap 

Seems to me she's doing fine with her routine.

The second nap is 2.5 hours inbtw.  Seems like a long time for her age?  I know you dont follow the samples by the minute per se and watch for cues, but I am new at this and trying to get the hang of it!  I think 12:30 (so 2 hours awake) would be best for her, but was wondering what others do??  We will transition to 4 hour Easy soon...

If she's still asleep then she happy and satisfied. She may be getting over a growth spurt and resting up. Make yourself some tea, curl up with a book and enjoy the long nap!

i'm sorry... I am being confusing myself.  I mean the awake time is 2.5 hours.  Not her nap.  It seems like such a long time until the next nap?

What is her mood like? Is she happy?
