Naps are a Must!

Over the last year I have stopped making Chi take a nap on the weekends. I usually would be so busy running around that it would just be easier to continue then to stop for a 1-2 hour nap. Then he's usually crash early and all was ok. Recently I have reconsidered my doing. If Chi doesn't have his nap at around 5-6pm he starts to get really cranky and can give me a pretty rough time. Yesterday I had a service come and clean my house. While she was busy scrubbing, I was trying to do all of my laundry. I decided after all of this non-fun activity, I would take Chi to Chuck-E-Cheese [Chi says Chuckle Cheese] for dinner. However, I thought ahead and decided that it would be best to have him nap so he would be his happy go lucky self while we were out. I told him if he took a nap, I would take him to Chuck-E-Cheese. He finally agreed. So he laid down at 130pm, just in enough time to watch my Chargers get stomped on [DON'T wanna talk about it!]. So I continued with laundry and football. He woke up around 4pm, just as I was yelling and cursing at the TV. He was in the best mood, me- not so much. So away we went to Chuck-E-Cheese. He was soooo well behaved. We played and ate and played some more. Now the test. It was time to go. Would he willingly listen to me and walk out on his own two feet?? YES!!! YAY!!! What a WONDERFUL evening! Everything went so smoothly and we had a lot of fun too! Naps are a must!
