Sleep With It...

The Braves game the other night was so much fun. Chaz has grown so much since last year and he had a B-A-L-L. He had so much fun running the bases in the kids play area, pitching in the virtual pitching booth, getting a new bat and ball from the clubhouse store and oh yeah...watching the game, there was actually a game going on! There is so much to do there that its easy to forget why you are actually there. :) The ride home was great, Chaz had me sing continuously "Take Me Out To the Ball Game" (its a 30 min drive). When we got home it was after 10pm and you would think Chaz (who almost fell asleep on the ride home) would go straight to bed...boy was I wrong?!? As soon as we walked in the door he wanted to "hit the ball" with his new equipment. After a few rounds of batting, I informed him it was time to go to bed. He, in no uncertain terms, wanted any part of that and went into full melt down mode. Those of you who have or ever had an overly tired 2 yr old know exactly what I am referring to. Nothing will appease them...no reassurances that we can play again in the morning, no kind of persuasions whatsover. So I finally asked the age old question "what do you want?" his reply was "seeep with it"......Choosing my battles, I agreed. He was a happy camper! So was I! He was in bed, prayers and asleep within minutes. Life is Good.
