2 and a half year old not wanting to go to dad when he comes home from work

Hi there. this may seem like a minor problem but it is getting myself and my husband a little down. Over the past week, my 2 and a half year old has run away at the sight of my husband as soon as he walks in the front door from work. This has happened round about the time wehave started to cut out his daytime naps so I know that he is tired by the time my husband gets home. we do not know how to approach it,whether to make him to go to him or whether to ignore it. Any help.
Thanks

I'd ignore it, sadly they sort of grow out of that in my experience... until a little rival comes along all excited about Dad getting home and then it starts again (until the baby is about 2 and a half)
