Arthur's new babysitter


A Week later Mr. and Mrs. Read won a trip for two on a romantic cruse. They are going to Yaya's house. Which just happens to be in Elwood City now. They will have fun there. See what happens.

"So mom is she coming here again?" said Arthur, "Like last week?"
"No Honey," said Mrs. Read, "You two are going to her house for a week."
"I hope i can play with my friends," said Arthur, "Instead of nap time?"
"I am sure she will," said Mrs. Read, "I know you don't take naps. I am sure she does as well."

They all got their clothes in suit cases and got in the car. They are heading to Yaya's house. They knocked on the door Arthur and DW went inside. Mr. and Mrs. Read are going to the airport to get on a jet going to Florida for the cruse.

"Arthur and DW meet Wimzie, Bo, Graziella, Jonas, Loulou, and Horace," said Yaya, "Get along well."
"Want to play a game Arthur and DW?" said Wimzie, "You can pick Arthur."
"Sure," said Arthur, "Hide and seek."
"Good," said Wimzie, "Lets go play."

The kids went to go play as Yaya was making lunch. She wants Arthur to take a nap after lunch. Even though Arthur wont like that. He has not had naps since he turned 6. He hates taking naps.

"You know you sound like Binky," said Arthur, "That is who you sound like Horace."
"I do?" said Horace, "Friend of yours?"
"Yes you do," said Arthur, "And yes a friend of mine."

They played until lunch was ready. They went to eat. They had a good lunch. Arthur hopes he can either play with his friends or help Yaya make bread. But she wants him to take a nap.

"Nap time kids," said Yaya, "After all it is nap time."
"Can i play with my friends?" said Arthur, "Or help you make bread?"
"No Arthur," said Yaya, "Nap time for you as well."
"But i don't take naps," said Arthur, "Since i turned 6 years old."
"Just try Arthur," said Yaya, "You can wear your pajamas."
"Where do i change at?" said Arthur, "As in what room?"

She gave him his pajamas and pointed to the bathroom. So he can have privacy. He is in his pajamas.

"You look nice in them," said Yaya, "You can sleep on the couch or in my bedroom for nap time."
"A bed is good for me, said Arthur, "I sleep better in them."
"That is good," said Yaya, "You will sleep well in it."

Arthur does hate naps. So he wont know if he will be able to sleep. But he did. Yaya is proud of him. See what happens in the next chapter. When they wake up from their naps.
