Awake Time

How long is your LO awake before they officially go to bed for the night? LO usually gets tired after being awake for 2 1/2 hours, but she's going longer stretches now. I'm wondering if I need to push her last nap back or just try not let her have one. She's wanting to stay up until 9 now... it was 7:30.

Thoughts?

My twins are up for about 2 hours during the day between naps. But they stay up 3 hours before bedtime at 7:30pm. So, I try my absolute hardest to have they're last nap around 3 to 3:30pm, they sleep about an hour and are up around 4:30pm. It doesn't always work, but even when they sleep till 5pm, they still go down for bed at 7:30pm. I think I've trained them well :

E is up about 2 hours between waking and nap 1, 3ish hours between nap 1 and nap 2, and 4 hours between nap 2 and bedtime. 

Four hours is as long as he can go, so if he takes early naps, we throw in a third catnap around 3:30-4 so that he is pleasant until his 7pm bedtime.
