He was alternating between one nap at 11-1 & two naps at 10-11 & 1:30-2:30. On his birthday he slept the two naps schedule. I planned the party for 10-2 & it worked out all right (he was a little groggy/cranky at first, but lightened up after a while).

R isn't 1 yet but will be moved up to the next room at day care before her bday. They nap 1130-230 (or lights out/quiet time). So we are going to schedule her bday party at 2.

@AprilFool: depends when DS wakes up, but he's usually up at 6:30am. So first nap at 9:30. Then his 2nd is 3 hours after he wakes from his first nap. (so around 2:30) We had his party at 12!

@hilsy85: our kids are almost nap twins.

I'm so jealous of everyone's great nappers! DD takes a nap around 10 and 2....usually 30-45 min each. Her party started at noon so she took a 30 min nap before it started and then she knocked out for 30 min on my moms shoulder during her party.

With both of my boys I did a 10 am and a 2pm at that age. Worked well so that we can go have lunch or attend parties. Although, some bday parties started at 10:30 AM! We would just go a little later say like at 12pm so that he could have had at least an hour nap before we woke him up to go. A little nap is better than none.

We scheduled his party 4-530 because of the same issue. Turns out he switched to one nap at 11m but 430 avoided the time he would've napped if he'd still taken two as well.
