Does your 3-yr-old nap still? If so, for how long?
How does your child sleep at night?
Note I'm writing this at 12:20 am, so you can guess what my answer is to the latter! Lucy used to be the one waking all the time, now she sleeps beautifully and Leigh is my night waker. And they do not nap anymore for the most part.

Nathan does still nap, he had always been my better sleeper. he naps from 1 or 2 till usually about 4.
The boys both go to bed at 8, and I wake them at 7, although when the sun come in their windows they usually wake earlier. But it is rare that either one of them wake in the night.

She sleeps great at night most nights - if she wakes up, she is up to pee or with a nightmare, but then right back to sleep. Normally though, she sleeps 11.5 hours straight.

Does your 3-yr-old nap still? If so, for how long? M-F he naps at the sitter's for 2-3 hours. Goes down no problem, she swears she doesn't drug him! At home, absolutely not no matter how bad he needs one!
How does your child sleep at night? For the most part pretty well, though he'll go through stages of waking in the middle of the night. Usually if you sit with him for a few minutes he'll be fine. Goes to bed at 8 and I wake him up at 6. Unfortunately, it quite difficult to get him to sleep in on the weekend. Our "rule" is he has to stay in his bedroom until at least 7, but he always comes into our room first to let us know he's awake (this is anywhere from 5am-7) and then we have to remind him of the 7am rule.
Ty doesn't nap unless he's in the car or at the sitter's house. Not always at the sitter's, but she has a much better success rate than we do at home.
He goes to be around 9 pm and wakes about 8 am. It's more difficult in the summer because of the extended daylight, even with room-darkening blinds. So bedtimes are later in the summer and wake times earlier.
Does your 3-yr-old nap still? If so, for how long? YES, thank God!!! He sleeps for 1.5-3 hrs every afternoon.
How does your child sleep at night? He is a night owl, doesn't fall asleep until 10 or 10:30 even though we start bedtime around 9. But he is FINALLY sleeping through the night! He's been getting up between 8 and 8:30 most days.

No napping and hasn't since shortly after turning two. Every great once and a while if we get up early or are in the car in the afternoon she will take one, but that is it. Thea is also a night owl (she must have got that from me) and finally falls asleep at 10pm and wakes around 9 most mornings. Night waking is touch and go, though much better than it was. I wouls say she sleeps through about 50% of the time right now.
