2 Yr Old Sleeping Schedule

I always looked at it this way (and I was home, no daycare either)...if he was still sleeping it was because he needed it.
If she doesn't "have" to be up in order to get somewhere, why would it be an issue?
I always used the philosophy "never wake a sleeping baby." The only exception was when his p.m. nap was too close to dinnertime. I never let him nap past 4 p.m.
Trust me, it doesn't last forever! My son is almost 8 and he's up with the chickens every day--even weekends now.

I agree with Denise P. If there's no reason to be up early, let her sleep!! Many kids start trying to drop daytime naps around 2 or 3 years old.

We wake my son by 8 (he goes down at 8) if he doesn't wake himself earlier. However, we found we had to do that because if we let him sleep longer, he wouldn't nap on time and then would be cranky all day.

Both my older girls dropped their naps by 2 years old and were sleeping 7pm-8am or later! If she's not cranky because she's missing naps, then let her sleep as long as she wants at night. If, for some reason, you want her to get up earlier then you could slowly move her bedtime to 7pm and that would make her wake-ups about an hour earlier. But I say, let them sleep!

My son also slept late (although he stayed up late). I didn't worry about it until it was almost time for preschool to begin. He started preschool when he was 3, and for the 2 or 3 weeks prior to his first day I woke him up at 7:00 am. I wanted to transition him into the correct wake up time so he wouldn't be sleepy that first week and would have enough energy to take it all in. Definitely didn't want a cranky boy on his first day of preschool!

We have a regular wake up time of 745am (they go to bed between 745 and 8pm) for both our 2 year old son (just turned 2) and 3.5 year old daughter. Both nap from 1230-230 or 3. I think it is important to keep a regular schedule and keep the biorhythms in check ... we do not vary from the schedule unless the kids are sick (then we allow more sleep).

good for you on the firm bedtime, as for the wake up time dont worry about that for a few more years, let her sleep until she wakes up. Both my boys sleep until they wake up unless they go to school, they didnt wake up Christmas morning until 8:30

Let it happen.
Lucky you.
It won't last forever.
If you don't have to go anywhere in the mornings, let her sleep.
Her bedtime is fine. 8:00pm is right on.
She still naps. Fine.
My son is now 4 and since birth, he STILL naps, everyday. No problem, and he goes to bed at night just fine too.
That is his... cycle and needs.

I would say that if you want her to nap--then wake her up in the morning--by 7am. If you don't care whether she naps or not---then let her sleep. If she's getting 12-13 hours at night--she may just need a quiet rest time during the day.
