Help. Has anyone dealt with a 20 month old suddenly going to bed later and later?

Our son used to fall asleep around 8:30pm (already later than most toddlers I know), but now it’s become 9–9:30pm most nights. He wakes around 7–8am and has one daytime nap.

The confusing thing is he genuinely doesn’t seem tired earlier anymore. We do bath, books, low lights etc but he’ll just roll around, chat, climb on us, and it can take ages for him to finally sleep. One of us also usually has to lie next to him.

Would really appreciate advice from anyone who’s been through this because the evenings disappearing until 9:30pm every night is honestly exhausting.
