In October Eli was still taking 4 naps a day. One of those naps was in the evening after we got home from daycare, so we worked on dropping that one. Eventually he did, so by mid-November he was down to 3. About the beginning of December, he started not taking his afternoon nap at daycare. I asked about it, because that seemed like such a long time between his last nap and bedtime (4-5 hours) and they said they'd put him down, but he woudn't go to sleep. I thought it was a fluke, but it kept happening, so they stopped trying. So now we're down to 2.
Yesterday I picked him up and he had only taken 1 nap! And he stayed up until his normal 7:00 bedtime! This is crazy. One of my biggest concerns about daycare was that I knew in a few months they'd move him up to the toddler room where they only get one nap and I thought there was no way he'd only be taking one nap by then. Basically in 8 weeks he has gone from 4 naps to 1, and other than us trying to get him to drop the evening nap, we didn't do anything to make it happen.
I know the 1 nap could be a fluke too, and he'll still maybe take 2 now and then. And at home on the weekends he always naps more. But this weekend at my mom's he still only took 2 naps most days. Crazy!

just wait till they drop them all! Yeah, it's FUN! J gets so tired about 5 or 6 he basically falls out. then he is up 1/2 the night.
