What your LO's schedule?

Linus has been really off lately and I thought he was trying to drop a nap. I need help though! He was sleeping longer overnight and during his first nap, but acting poopy for his second nap- refusing it, waking up crying, short nap, etc. So we tried just one nap... that was a GIANT failure for the 3 days I tried it. Yesterday I could tell he was tired, but was trying to keep him up a little longer. He dropped his sippy cup and LOST it... red faced, screaming, tears streaming, wailing like you'd think he broke his arm, just from dropping his cup. But I feel like when he takes 2 naps I can never get him to bed early enough and his schedule ends up too stretched out if that makes sense. He's a late riser/night owl, but if he gets up at 11 he should be on track to go to bed at 11, but it never fails that he naps long for both naps, or fusses going down for a nap/eating/whatever and then doesn't go to bed until midnight, etc. So then gets up later the next day or if I wake him up he's grumpy. So... what's your schedule?

Re: What your LO's schedule?
Well, Nora is an early to bed/early riser, so I'm not sure that this will be at all helpful. Also, she spends M-F at day care for the better part of the day, but here is her schedule:
6:30 Wake-up and have 6 oz of milk (bottle)
7:45-8 a.m. Breakfast at day care
9:30- Short nap
10-10:30 wake up, play, milk in a sippy cup
12:00- Lunch
1:00- Longer nap
3:00 wake up, play, milk in a sippy cup
5:30- Dinner
7:15- Bath
8:00- Crib, asleep by 8:15 or 8:30 if she's extra playful
If we can keep E up until 10:30-11 AM she takes an AMAZING 2-3 hour nap and is good on one nap a day.
We had a busy weekend a two weekends ago and she only got 1 nap those days, since then she's taken to that. Some days she get's fussy right before nap, but she's going strong with one nap now.
I miss the days when Chloe would go to sleep at 11, however I do love have couple time when she goes to bed.
Jack dropped down to one nap about a month and a half ago. At first I fought it but now it's nice to have one long nap a day. We have more freedom to get out of the house and have fun!
