2 yo Not Napping

Question

My daughter is just over 2 1/2 and I think she may be dropping her afternoon nap (unfortunately). It's been going on for about 5 months now, where she only naps 1-3x per week. She is staying in her bed but singing and talking. I've started giving her books to read if I see she isn't going to nap so she remains quiet for at least an hour. She is getting 10 hours of sleep at night but does seem overly tired by late afternoon on days when she doesn't nap. She gets overly hyper and stimulated which can make dinner and bedtime a challenge until we can get her in bed at 7pm. Can children drop their naps this early? It seems too early! I was hoping she would nap until the age of four or five...or at least three!
