fighting second nap

DD has been fighting her second nap lately. She takes her first nap 2-3h after waking up, then the 2nd nap 3-4h after waking from the first nap. How long do your LOs go awake and are they switching to one nap?

    This week DS has just been doing one nap. He gets up at 7am, we have lunch around 11:30am, then nap 12pm to 2pm, then bedtime is 7pm. So he's awake 5 hours at a time.

    Some days he was fighting his second nap to where it would get too late in the day to let him nap or it would screw up bedtime. One nap has been working great. He just consolidated his two one hour naps to one two hour.

    This is what's happening!

    We just barely recently dropped the third evening nap! DS is still on two solid naps per day. His first nap is 4 hours after wake up and the second nap is 23 hours after that.

    DS usually has to have a nap about 3 to 4 hours after waking up in the morning. If he sleeps late, he can usually go a little longer between naps. His afternoon nap is about 4 hours after he wakes up from his first nap, but it's been getting shorter and shorter.

    DD started switching to 1 mid-day nap about a month ago (when she was 11months). It took about 2 weeks where every day it was different.  Every now and then she'll want 2 but generally she's only doing the after lunch nap.  DS didn't switch until he was like 14 months so I was surprised she was ready so early.  

    DD wakes at 7-7:30 - nurses, eats breakfast at 8:30-9, lunch w/ bm sippy at 11, down for nap at 11:30, sleeps 2-2.5 hours, up at 2, snack w/ bm sippy at 3, dinner at 5:30, bath at 7, nurses and bed 7:30ish.

    Some days she doesn't get a second nap b/c we have an activity in the morning or she just won't take one.  She only sleeps one hour per nap so she usually gets a second but if she slept longer I probably wouldn't give her a second nap b/c she wouldn't need one.

    He has just started switching to one nap in the middle of the day from 12 to 2 sometimes 3.

    He's been doing this at daycare consistently. When he's home with me it varies because sometimes we're out doing stuff during that time.

    ETA: DS gets up by 7:30 most days, sometimes a bit earlier.
