Nap by Chocolate

The last few days, Eric has been coming home within minutes of Sam going down for his nap. This means that Eric has to stay up much later than he normally would, so he can spend some time with Sam when he wakes up.

Today, in an attempt to keep Sam awake, I took him to the grocery store at naptime. He was fine at first, but as I wheeled the cart to the check-out he made it clear he was done. He started whining and was near tears (which is very unusual for Sam in public). In an attempt to keep the peace, I opened our pack of chocolate chip cookies and gave one to Sam to gnaw on.

When we got home, I didn't even have time to unpack the groceries before Sam was demanding to be put to bed. I showed him to his chair and he passed out.
