First times....

I know that being a mother means that you are going to have to experience the good and bad things your child does, you just always hope that there will never be a first time for some of those things! Well, today was the first time that Maddie threw a FIT in the grocery store. She usually is really good at the store and will point to things that she wants me to give her, but never gets mad when we walk past them, just gives her puppy eyes and signs the word, "please". Today she saw a stupid turtle bath sponge. I mean it was so ridiculous, but she loves turtles. I looked at the tag and it was 10 bucks, there was no way she was going to be taking that lame sponge home for that price....so I just walked past like every other time. SHE FLIPPED OUT! It was even after she had a nap today, when she is usually her calmest. She proceeded to throw her stuffed turtle she brought on the floor, along with my purse and along with some produce from the cart. The stupid shopping carts at Wal-Mart in Canada have a shelf that is in reach of the kids seat...DUMB IDEA! Anyways, she starting screaming bloody freakin' murder at the top of her lungs, made HUGE tears flow and was kicking the crap out of me. SERIOUSLY? I was just trying so hard not to laugh because I know she is stubborn, but jeez-la-weez! Everyone was staring at me like I had just punched her lights out and that I was a terrible person for just continuing on with my shopping. I wanted to scream, "you stupid people, take a freakin' picture, she isn't bleeding, so mind your own bleeping business!" She was over it in about a minute, but it felt like eternity with all the stare downs. I just don't think I am ready for the terrible two's just yet. I thought I was free for 6 more months, but I guess I don't decide. I think I need to go eat some chocolate!

This doesn't look like the face of a tantrum thrower....AHHH!!
