26 month old sleep schedule

Just curious how some of your LO's are sleeping.  DS sleeps GREAT but his schedule can be a bit difficult at times.  He usually gets up between 8 and 830 and is ready for a nap by 1230-100 (I can push it off a little later but he has no problem falling asleep right away going down at 1230 and he doesnt fight going down) and lately he's been napping for 3 to 3.5 hours.  I dont know if he's growing and needing more sleep or what because this only started a couple weeks ago (up until then he would nap 2 hours usually).  Only reason I say it can be difficult is because there are times I'd like to get out in the afternoon but by the time he's up we dont have a lot of time till I have to get dinner going.  Don't get me wrong....his sleep and his schedule is MUCH more important than anything I need to do, I just need to try and focus on getting things (errands, him playing outside, etc) done in the morning.

ETA:  He goes to bed around 8 or 830

    DS wakes up between 6:30-7:30, and usually naps starting around 1 for about two hours.  He is in bed by 8.

    We only deal with nap time on the weekends though, since he goes to daycare.

    DD is about 5 months younger than yours but she mainly goes to bed about 8:30 and wakes between 7:15 and 8. Just depends on what we did the day before. She goes down for her nap between 12:30 and 1 and sleeps about 2 hours. Every now and again she will sleep a little longer but it is rare. We normally do not do much in the afternoons unless I have errands that are within 20 minutes of the house. We do most activities in the mornings.

    Connor wakes up around 7am. He sometimes takes a nap. He likes his back rubbed, and depending on what else is going on, I sometimes do that. But he has the lay nicely as well, and sometimes he does not do that, so if I leave his room, he does not always take a nap. He will stay fairly quiet and play. Sometimes if he is really tired he will fall asleepd for 1.5-2 hrs. I would say he takes a nap 4-5 times a week. He has never been a huge napper though. He goes to bed each night at 8pm.

    same as yours :)
    wakes at 8...nap at 1...and lately its been until 4-4.30....bed at 8.30-9
    we eat dinner at 5.30-6 so its hard
    i have friends with kids the same age as ds and they dont nap..so on the days im annoyed with needing to get stuff done i think about that and feel much better :)
    ive tried to move his nap up to 12 but it hasnt worked yet!

    My son is 29 months, but his sleep schedule has been the same since he was about 18 months!

    He gets up about 7:30 and naps around 1-3:30 and then goes to bed for the night at 7-8ish. We can push his nap later or ealier, or he can skip one and we put him to bed by 7 if we skip.  I couldn't imagine if my child didn't nap everyday though..I need that time for "moi"!
