Moms of 2 year olds

Evan has been soooo tired lately, like for the past few weeks.  He sleeps 12-13 hours a night and has been taking 2-3 hour naps, most of the time, but he is exhausted by lilke 10 a.m. and then again at about 5:30 p.m.  Phase?  He is down for his second nap today (which is not typical), but he was just so tired, and he wanted to lay down.

    Enjoy it while it lasts. :) It probably won't last..

    Eve never slept that long at night.. the most she EVER gets like 10 hours.. and many nights its more like 8 or 9.. At right at 2 she was taking about a 3 hour nap.. but now we're lucky for 2 hours and this is our second day with no naps.

    Maybe a growth spurt?

     DD has never slept like that....she hasnt napped more than once a day since her 1st bday!  If she naps (usually 2hrs), she'll sleep anywhere from 9-12 hours overnight. No nap she'll sleep at least 12hrs at night. But we're having a lot of no nap days lately and like today she didnt conk out until close to 3pm-which means I'll probably have to wake her up or else she'll be up until 10pm tonight!

    Thanks ladies.  He has not been sick at all, or run a fever, it just worries me how tired he is.  We have been busy, but he has been getting to nap at home everyday and we have a day here and there when we do not do anything.  He napped for another hour or so this afternoon and was ready to go to bed at 6...but stayed up until 7.

    Growth spurt perhaps? E sleeps from 8-8ish...naps for 3hrs every afternoon (sometimes longer). I agree, enjoy it! I sure do, but I've got 3 others to tend to, so it's just a break from the crazy toddler for a little bit!!!

    So he is sleeping two 3-hr naps in addition to 12/13 hours a night?  Up to 19 hours a day total?  I do think that is a bit long....especially if it has been going on for a few weeks.  Or do you just mean he has seemed tired for a few weeks?  I could understand a day here or there of a double nap at this age.  DD will very rarely takes 2 naps - only if we had several very busy days in a row and she needs to catch up.

    How long was he down to 1 nap a day before this?  Her transition from 1 nap to 2 naps seemed very long, probably about 1.5 months where she would either nap once a day and be tired and cranky all day, or take 2 naps.

    Maybe it is just molars coming in or a growth spurt.

    Jnk:  Only 2 naps yesterday and maybe one other time, he just seems tired all of the time.  He went from 2 naps to 1, around 18 months old.  I was thinking molars too, but he is not cranky...just tired.  Maybe a growth spurt, he has been eating a ton.
