Default Sleeping for little ones?

I would say this is quite unusual for a 2 year old. Most children
pare down to one nap by 18 months or so.

Mine went to bed earlier when they were 2 (around 7 pm, but they woke
up earlier too - generally around 6:30 or 7 am). They napped from 1
to 3 or 4 depending on how tired they were. So total sleep at 2 was
13 to 15 hours depending on the day.

Here's a sleep chart:

1 month 8 1/2 7 (3) 15 1/2
3 months 10 5 (3) 15
6 months 11 3 1/4 (2) 14 1/4
9 months 11 3 (2) 14
12 months 11 1/4 2 1/2 (2) 13 3/4
18 months 11 1/4 2 1/4 (1) 13 1/2
2 years 11 2 (1) 13
3 years 10 1/2 1 1/2 (1) 12
