Little Man throws down on his Mama....

I know it's not his Birthday yet, but it's not like he KNOWS! I just had to let him ride!
...Okay so today little man and myself had to go to Toys R Us to pick up the wagon he is getting for his 1st birthday. You could pay 10$ more to have the thing put together, and having flashbacks of my pregnancy when I put every. single. thing. that had to be assembled together myself. Plus throw a maniac toddler into that mix. I paid the 10 dollars. I almost sang while I paid it.

Anyway, after being drug through a few more stores the baby hit the wall. Not literally, but you know what I mean. He threw one of THE biggest tantrums of his life. Right on the Martha Stewart isle of Michaels Arts & Craft store. By the way, if you haven't seen her new line of products at Michaels, you should check it out! Very cute! Well, I could almost see Martha herself shaking her head at the way my kid was acting. I was speechless. This was the first time I'd seen him do THAT! So I shut him up the best I could, at least the best I could with no super strength Duct Tape! I shoved his pacy in his mouth, paid for my loot, and got the heck outta dodge!

Well, being the compassionate soul that I am on the way to my vehicle, I passed on by a poor woman who was in MUCH worse shape than me! There in that green mini van was the loudest bunch of kids I've ever seen! That poor Mama was trying her best to buckle the youngest in the carseat while the rest of them were going wild! AND the car alarm was going off, AND the kids wouldn't give her the keys with the alarm on the key chain. AND she was looking like she could just walk off and leave the whole bunch!

Okay, so maybe my kid didn't act so bad after all.

Awww it is always greener on the other side Mom use to say, (or in other words it is good to realize some do have it worse).

Those are bubble bath days =))))

Hey...just a little FYI if you are planning on swimming or anything this summer...on my blog, I have a new link...the last one..."Who could ask for anything more." There is a post, I think on May 10, about swimming tips for SMALL children...getting them used to the water, etc. Thought you might be able to use them since your guy is so young. Just a thought!

Great Minds Think Alike- Samuel also got a Radio Flyer wagon for his 1st birthday, but we opted for the wooden slatted one instead :)

Oh, and that cute innocent lil' face?? Surely he wouldn't throw a Temper Tantrum! You can almost see his halo ;)
