How long is your 14-18 month old awake before their first nap?

For my 16 month old, we usually did awake 4 hours, sleep 2-3 hours, awake 6 hours, bed time. Then the other day, he absolutely refused to take his nap. I had tried to lay him down 30 minutes early because he woke up all night crying. He fought his nap for 1.5 hours and I gave up.The weird thing was that it didn't even effect him. He was happy and playful all day long after staying up 12 hours. So I decided to increase his wake length. Now everything is a mess. I tried doing awake 5 hours, 2-3 hour nap and awake 7 hours before bedtime. But now Im realizing that there isn't enough hours in the day for this to work. Im having to wake up early and go to bed late.Any suggestions? He really enjoys going to sleep if we do everything right so I just need to figure out a better schedule.
