Well, my son is 21 months and still takes naps, but my chicks never gave up their naps...they took naps all the way to their 7 & 8th birthdays.  I am an advocate of naps!  My oldest is almost 12 and she will go lay down after school if she needs too.

Probably at 3.  He is 3 1/2 now, and very very rarely does he take a nap.  Gosh, I miss those good ole nap days.  sigh.

My daughter (2.5yrs) is kinda hit or miss onthe naps now.  I know and can tell when she really needs them, but often fights.  I still try to get her to nap eeryday, but sometimes she'll just stay awake in her crib.  Its hard because she tends to keep my 1 year old up from her naps when she's fightinhg hers.  And then no one takes a nap and its over tired, crabby ,sassy girls the rest of the day.

We put our son down until he started daycare at 4, and they napped there, too. Didn't mean he always slept, but, being a huge fan of naps myself, I always insisted on at least a couple hours quiet time, lights out, just chilling, whether he slept or not. [wow, that was a lot of commas but I don't feel like going back to fix it, sorry]

DD is almost 4 and I still put her down daily, but when I work and she switches from my mom's to DH's mom's, neither of them even try anymore. And I'm like, and you wonder why she's such a handful! I'm cranky when I'm tired and I'm 32 years old. I don't know many people who naturally go all the way from morning to night without a little tired spell in there.
