I'm under the impression that the little big boy is still a little too young to be switching to a One Nap a Day little boy BUT it seems that is the direction he is heading...
It's hard to tell since he's not at home & he hasn't been on his "regular" schedule with the grandparents visiting and all so I'm not going to commit to this line of thinking until we get him settled back into his own routine. Of course, each kid is different & he very well might be switching his naps already but I wasn't quite prepared for it :) I suppose I will get a lot done during those 3-4 hours smack dab in the middle of the day & I suppose we will be heading out much more in the late afternoon/early evening than we normally do so...
Also with this shift, I think he might be heading back towards an 8pm nightnight time - he switched himself to a 9pm lights out time a while back & it worked a lot better for him - he would go down in 5-15 minutes' time & we wouldn't have any squabbling like we did when we attempted to keep him at an 8pm go nightynighty time. Last night he went to bed at 8pm after napping for 3 hours from 12-3 - but those 5 hours were busy & active so there was definitely no way he was making it to 9pm. He actually fell asleep during the Grandfather clock's (clock!) 8pm chime sequence - it started & he was awake, it finished & he was O-U-T!
Like I said - I'm not committed to this new schedule as I'm not sure he is but we'll flesh it out & see what comes :) What I can say, is Maman will be getting a lot of scrapbooking done with 3-4 hours in the middle of the day suddenly now house-bound!
Aren't you excited that I'm talking about sleep schedules again?!?
Next up - More Teefies! I do believe he is sprouting another upper :)

I would have to double check but I think Matthew switched to one nap a day around this time. We found he actually wanted to go to bed at night with just one nap (night time is not a good time for Matthew - he fights going to sleep like mad since he was born...)
Be forewarned that if he naps just once a day you get less time - Matthew went from two-two hours naps down to one-two hour nap (some times three but mostly two.) That sucked for us but it was great to able to do more in the mornings (afternoon activities have gone out the window since too...)
Ah, good luck!
