It sounds like he doesn't need a nap anymore. My youngest daughter outgrew her naps at about 2 yrs. old. Maybe just have a quiet time for him. Let him lay on the couch and watch a movie. Or even on the floor in a sleeping bag. Or give him some books to look at for a while and play lullaby music to soothe him. Sometimes just a quiet break in their day is all a toddler needs.
