What to do?

Crue used to be really good about taking naps. All the kids I watch go down for a nap at the same time (it keeps me sane). This week Crue has been a real stinker about going to sleep. In fact, today and yesterday, he hasn't taken a nap. At this moment he is in his room crying and screaming because I told him he's staying in there until daddy gets home. I'm tired of dealing with him. Normally you might think that he's getting big enough that he doesn't need a nap but I know he does. As an example, last night Cooper was riding a toy four-wheeler and Crue was riding his "bike" (go here to see what it is). He went in the kitchen and I told him not to (I was making dinner) and then he went around the kitchen table which I told him not to do - too many chairs for him to be able to go around fast and a dirty floor with crumbs I don't want dragged around the house. He did it again so I told him to put his bike away. He threw the biggest tantrum. Then he gets put in his room and gets even more mad. So, unless I want to put him to bed at 6 pm at night, he needs a nap. Not to mention the fact that when he doesn't take a nap he tends to fall asleep around 3 or 4 from being tired. He's done this before where he'll be a stinker for a few days and then he'll be really good again. Hopefully that means he takes a good nap tomorrow. I don't know if I can handle another day of fighting him and dealing with tantrums. Plus, I have something tomorrow night so Jared's watching the boys. I am going to laugh when Crue has children of his own and they do the same thing to him - hopefully I have this printed and can show him. :)
(Crue finally fell asleep as seen below. I took this picture and he didn't wake up but when I tried putting his foot down so it didn't go numb and hurt, he woke right up. I talked to him and gave him loves and kisses and he was good after that.)

A little clarification (now that I'm not upset and am out of the situation):
Crue stays in his room until Jared gets home not so he can be in more trouble and have his daddy get mad at him too, but more for a time frame. He's usually throwing tantrums and being too much for me when he doesn't take a nap (this was the worst one and only time I've put him in there that long) so when Jared gets home I talk to Crue and let him out of his room. By then I have some help and am not doing everything by myself. Some people think that crumbs all over the house aren't a big deal but when you have a baby that crawls all over and likes to find stuff like that and then chokes on it, it's a big deal. It's not because I don't want my house dirty (believe me, it's plenty dirty). But if it stays around the table, then I can keep the baby away from the table. The biggest reason is all the chairs that Crue runs into and then they hit the table or the counter or whatever. Luckily now he's good at taking naps again. I guess I should wait until I'm not so angry before posting again.
