Kristie,

Olivia is 3 and still has a nap from 1-3ish......and Charlie is 20 months and still naps from about 12.30 - 3ish.

Both of them go to bed at around 7.30pm, but both of them "read" in bed and Charlie in particular chats to himself and plays in the cot for up to an hour before he drops off.......(then he'll wake at 7am in the morning......)

I reckon it is totally normal for them to have "wind down" play in the cot.......it is cute to listen to as well! I remember Olivia going through the same thing at a similar age........
