Sounds like he is UT to me. All kids need different amounts of sleep so even though his older sister is ready for a nap he may not be. Have you tried putting him down say half an hour later?

yes i could try putting him down a little later but some times at 11am i know he would go to sleep no bother but ive to collect dd from pre school so dont let this sleep happen....

I guess you have no choice but to wait until you come back from pick up then. I also find that if I miss the window they can be harder to put down, but hanging on a bit later might just get him to the right point ready to sleep again.
