  Kate went to one nap a day over a month ago. I thought it was just a phase, but it stuck. She only sleeps around 1 1/2 hours, at around 10:30 or 11:00 to 12 or 12:30, then is up until bed time. It pretty much sucks. I wish it was a longer nap. The only upside is that she is falling asleep earlier, like around 8 instead of 9 or 9:30, and she doesn't get up until 7:30 ish. If she would start sleeping through the night again we would be golden.

  So, he did this for almost two weeks, straight. He'd give me all signs that he was sleepy after 3.5 hours, I'd put him down, and of course, 30-45 minutes later (instead of the usual 1.5 hours), he'd be up. I'd try for the second nap, it'd take an hour to even get him to lay down, and then he'd sleep maybe 30 minutes after he laid down for about 20 minutes. So, I tried the one nap thing for two days via a longer WT and he was an absolute disaster.
  
  We (as in me) suffered for two weeks and then it was like something clicked and he was back to normal, taking his two 1.5 hour naps. Currently though, he's laying wide awake in his crib and has been for the past 52 minutes, even though it's naptime.
  
  Basically, these kids suck, is what I'm saying

  I know @Cleigh was talking about a wonder week around this time.  Maybe that's it?  What has worked for me with naps is a 3-2-3-2-3 routing.  Up for 3 hours, down for 2, repeat, repeat till bed time.
