Re: does your 2 1/2 yr old still nap
Sometimes... 
Some of it isn't her fault. We have workers in the house a lot of the time doing stuff (although she HAS slept through them using nail guns 5 feet from her room!)
Some days she's just not in the mood to nap.
When she does nap, it's usually from about 1:30 to 3 or 3:30.

not every day, but when he does he'll usually sleep a good 2 hours. If I'm lucky he'll give me 3 hours!

Re: does your 2 1/2 yr old still nap
Nope - Ali hasn't napped in about a year and a half 
The only time she does is when she is sick or getting sick

Oh yes, every day! And I am so happy she does. She goes down between 1 and 2 (if we are home and not out and about) and she sleeps about 2 - 3 hours. She goes to bed at 9.

Re: does your 2 1/2 yr old still nap
i'm longing for those 2-3 hr nap days! He naps everyday, but its usually only about an hour or an hour and a half. I was considering pushing it back later. Right now he has been going down around 2

Re: does your 2 1/2 yr old still nap
I am having such a problem with this!
Megan is 2 years, 4 months. If we are home, I put her in her crib between 1 30 and 2. She usually naps for an hour and a half, thats the longest. But no matter how long she naps, even if its 30 minutes, she will NOT go to sleep at night. Yesterday she slept for 45 minutes..she didnt go to bed until 11 30!!! Its really a hassle.
I am so stuck in the middle..if she doesnt nap, she is a horror after 4. If she does nap, she wont go down at night. UGH!

Re: does your 2 1/2 yr old still nap
My DS is 2 1/2 and he just stopped napping. I mean, he just stopped a few days ago. Unless it's a very strenuous day, it seems he no longer needs naps. I was putting him for naps and fighting to keep him in the room and then even if he finally napped a bit, it would be impossible to get him to sleep at night. So I started not giving him the nap and he is fine and goes down right away at 7:30.
I miss the nap but not the fight.
ETA: My older 2 also stopped napping at 2 1/2 so I'm not shocked. But I don't know why 2 1/2 is so magical over here. My nephew still napped last year and he was 5 and in Kindergarten.

Re: does your 2 1/2 yr old still nap
Yep! Marron usually sleeps for about 3 hours every day. I put her down around 1 or 2 and she will sleep til 4-5. Sure, she does go to bed, but since I work nights, I really need her to sleep in the afternoon or else I have to be up for over 24 hours by the time I get home, and that isn't safe for anybody. It may be a bit selfish, but it keeps everybody safe and she is still getting enough sleep.

Re: does your 2 1/2 yr old still nap
Yes...My DS is 2 and a half today and he still goes down for a nap. He'll nap between 1-2 hours. Sometimes he can go for 3 but I cut it down cuz the longer he sleeps the longer he'll want to stay up and play at bedtime. I will let him nap longer if he is sick or if he really needs the sleep.

Not everyday. I would say about 2-3 times a week. His naps last around 1 1/2hr.

Re: does your 2 1/2 yr old still nap
Bella is 3 years and 3 months and still naps...THANK GOODNESS! She doesn't absolutely need them anymore, but she is a beast when she is tired, so this is perfect.
She sleeps on average of an 1 hour, but will sleep up to 2 hours....
