Shayna, DS1 has just grown out of day sleeps in the past 6 mths, he occasionally still has one at childcare, not too often thankfully, but I can relate. Is there anything that he really loves? Maybe suggest he does that (build things, race his cars) when you need to see to Abbey - in saying that I turn the TV on almost everytime I have to feed Mr I 'cause it keeps L out of my hair, but maybe if there's something he's excited about it'd have the same result without encouraging sleep.

Hopefully someone else has better advice.
