Naps
My daughter just turned 2 and today decided she doesn't want her afternoon nap.
Is anyone already dropped all the naps?

My daughter did this for a few weeks and then had her naps again. I would still put her in her cot and leave her even if she was just awake. Way too young to drop a nap xx
Exactly what @Aimee said. Stick to her routine and encourage the nap, and just allow some quiet time in the cot if she doesn't want to take it, and then put her to bed earlier (I usually aim for 6ish on nap-free days - definitely no earlier than 6pm though!) to reduce overtiredness.
Yer we’ve dropped all our daughters naps. Bed time was taking two hours and once we dropped her nap she was back to going to sleep at 7:30 so getting more sleep overall. She’s absolutely fine in the afternoon too, not tired at all so definitely right for us

I think there is a sleep regression around two and the advice is still offer them an afternoon nap; some days they may have it and some days not x
