Mamaof2 Hey, thanks for the ideas. I really like the wrapped gift thing. Visit the Dollar Store and pick out random things....great idea! In the long run, that would probally be cheaper than doing the goodie bags as well as more enjoyed!!! Thanks :)

Mamaof2 Yes, i do think that sometimes they just need some time to wined down! I do just put my son in his bed and if he decides he isnt napping....I will leave him in there for awhile as well. Even just a little quiet time seems to help after. Thanks a bunch :-)
