Toddler dropping naps

Sleep

My 2 year old boy (25 months) is starting to drop naps. He’s been a pretty good sleeper and takes 2-3 hour naps until just about two weeks ago. I’m mourning our middle of the day break - it’s the only way to get things done honestly.

He wakes around 7 am and his bedtime is 7:30 (he’s asleep by around 8). He still uses his crib, sleep sack and sound machine. We recently got rid of his pacifiers for sleep (it’s the only change in his routine). We lay him down to sleep, don’t do rocking etc, and have a pretty solid sleep routine that includes reading and saying goodnight to things in his room.

Any suggestions to help with daytime sleep? Or am I doomed to a napless existence??
