naps are a necessity...when you're 4

Last week I babysat my cousins for the whole week. The biggest thing I learned? Four year olds CANNOT miss their naps! The day he missed his nap, we had more meltdowns than I can count! Meltdown over who made the salad: "I want to make the salad!" "Do you know how to make salad?" "No." oh dear. Meltdown over playing catch. Meltdown over going through the gate. Meltdown over getting in the car. Meltdowns left and right. So word of advice: Make sure the four year old you are watching takes a nap!
