I should have added a third point to the new and improved nap plan I detailed yesterday: ensure that child has visited the bathroom before lying down for the nap. I just dedicated half an hour to lying next to Isaac listening hopefully to his sleepy babbling and yawning only to realize it was all ruined when I heard his sudden announcement of "I need to poop."
(He sometimes wears a diaper during naptime, but he doesn't use it.)
After spending 15 minutes in the bathroom, it's unlikely he'll be able to get back to his previous sleepy state. Better luck tomorrow!

Edited to add:
I was wrong! It took another 30 minutes, but he was willing to lay there and give it a try, and now he's asleep!
