On Saturday, we had two birthday parties, Mia's, and my nephews. My nephew's was at a local baseball game at 6:00 pm and of course Michael didn't nap in between. The meltdown that ensued was epic and involved hitting me and MY MOM and the first time in his life he went to bed without getting a book read to him. This was only second to Sunday nights temper tantrum in which he went to bed without and a book and brushing his teeth and pajamas had an hour temper tantrum. This is why he still needs a nap, even though he doesn't think so.
Michael was a tad presumptuous and took it upon himself to blow out Mia's candles. Good thing Mia was such a good sport.

He is holding in his hand the pink butterfly yo yo that was in the favor bucket at Mia's party. So much for girls and boys toys. He has carried that toy with him everywhere he went this weekend.
Lesson learned, cake + no nap + out too late = copious amounts of screaming.

He only blew out one of the candles, Mia got the first two. It was really very helpful.

Oh yeah, I could have told you about the screaming part. I just didn’t want to alarm you.

Nate still screams when he has had enough, and he’s six.
If he doesn’t want to nap per se, tell him he needs some quiet time. Let him sit on the couch with a book, a pillow and a blanket.
It works for us.

Poor little guy! (And mama!)
I’m in my 20s, and I still get cranky when I need a nap. The bf makes me curl up on the couch with him until I fall asleep.

I’m old and I still need a nap or else I’m pissy. Not that I ever get one, but you get the drift. He’s a cutie…
And FWIW, Isabella insists she doesn’t want to nap either, but then all hell breaks out when she doesn’t because she just can’t handle it.

That last picture was classic. Also, these tantrums you speak of, they’re just exaggerated for comedic effect, right? BECAUSE I FEEL I SHOULD HAVE THOUGHT THIS THROUGH A BIT BETTER.

Yeah, that’s a lot of excitement for a little guy. Too bad it wasn’t a better day for him (and you!).
