It happened last week and there was no stopping it. That second nap of the day finally had to leave us... and I'm still quite sad. I knew it was inevitable, but I was happy to hang on to it as long as we could. But the time he was staying up between naps kept getting longer, and bedtime kept getting later, and I knew it was time. So now Josiah's typical day is waking up around 6:45am, nap from 11:30-1:30 and bedtime at 7:30pm. It's a stretch to keep him up until 11:30 every morning, but we've managed. And after naptime, he starts getting pretty sleepy around 5:30 and that's been a bit tough too, but I'm sure he'll adjust soon. He says "nap, sleepy, paci, blankie" and really wants to sleep!
Now I just have to figure out how to work MY schedule around this! I used to wait until his morning nap to get myself dressed for the day, but now I have to hop up as soon as I hear him start to wake in the morning and get myself showered and dressed super-quick before I get him up. It does give us some longer stretches to be out and about though, so maybe that will be the positive side. :)

YEA for the one napper! I agree with you though- 2 naps are better than one. Gosh I think Katie was 3 or 4 months when she started the 1-nap thing. But at least you've gotten almost a year and a half with 2 naps! And now he will go to bed nice and early...not a bad deal.
