Does your 2 year old still nap?

And if so for how long & what time do they usually go down? My daughter is 26 months and lately hasn't been going down for her nap as well as she used to. Not sure whether to cut nap out completely or just push it later.

My daughter is a month or so older, and is definitely in the process of dropping her nap – some days she has one (normally capped at an hour, or bedtime slides towards 9.30), other days she doesn't. 30 minutes would probably be better than an hour, but she's not very good a short naps. My eldest started dropping her nap perhaps a couple months later, and then dropped it pretty completely just after 2.5 years.

When is she falling asleep now? At home, DD2 often doesn't go down until 1 or even 2 without it affecting bedtime too much (8.30 if she's napped). DD1 could push it even later without messing up bedtime.
