are your kids still napping? did they take a break from napping?

Our kid hasn't napped in half a year or so, maybe even a year. He just hasn't and was perfectly fine that way. HOWEVER Since a few weeks we saw in his emotions that he might need naps again, He was completely unreasonable and having complete meltdowns around noon. Like he didn't know what he wanted or needed.

This monday we were up pretty early.. and he was tired at noon and I was like.. well maybe do you want to take a nap?

and he didn't actually but we tried it and he got up and was happier. Tuesday he didn't need a nap but today he actually asked for one.

Is this normal?
