PR: really long naps

So DS1 just turned 2, and lately his naps have been really long. He's usually in daycare, and they limit them to about 2 hrs there. But on the weekends, he's been napping about three hours before I go in and wake him up. That's too long for a 2 year old, right? Should I be putting him to bed earlier if he's this tired? That would be tough for me as right now we don't get home until 6:15, so I usually need until his 7:30 bedtime to play, feed him, bathe him, and read to him. Thoughts?

    I don't think a three hour nap is crazy for a 2 year old. I pray for three hour naps every day.

    DS1 just turned 4 and he still takes 3+hr naps on the weekends. He goes to bed between 830-9 and wakes up around 8am. He just really likes his sleep! Its fantastic when I can get both boys to nap at the same time....3+hrs of just momma time. Ahhhhhhh heaven

    My 2.5 year old takes a 3ish hour nap most days. 

    He usually wakes at 7, naps from about 1-4, and then goes to bed at 8. 

    He seems happy so I'm not inclined to change it.

    Ok, good to hear I'm not wearing him out. He was taking 1.5 hr naps for awhile, so I thought that was more normal. I guess I'll just enjoy the peace and quiet!

    WTF to the older kid naps.  I would kill for that!  DS1 (4) stopped napping around 2.5.  He'll "rest" at school and sometimes fall asleep but he won't nap at home.
