Gah. I repeat, Gah.
This kid is driving us batty these days. He has officially become “Toddler” and is a force to be reckoned with, and feared with the intensity of a thousand fiery suns for no one knows when “Toddler” will strike. He is mysterious and terrifying. BOW BEFORE HIS ENDLESS RAGE. BOWWWWWW!
For the first time a few days ago we actually had to leave a restaurant because of the shrieking, the incessant, hysterical shrieking. We’ve had to leave several other fine establishments before because of an errant tantrum but this was the first official meltdown of this magnitude. I threw $10 on the table and apologized profusely as we hurried out of the restaurant. We were frustrated and embarrassed. We were hungry. We were ANGRY.
And then things took a large step from irritating to horrifying. While trying to unload two kids and all their accouterments from our double stroller I watched helplessly as it rolled off the curb and onto it’s side, with my tiny baby STILL IN IT. I saw it in slow motion, but thankfully it actually happened in slow motion — very low impact thank god. However that did nothing to make me feel less guilty or stop me from sobbing the entire trip back to Kansas City.
Days like that make us think two is PLENTY.
Way to go Nicholas Timothy!!! Keep up the good work, so when you finally stop it, in about 6-9 months, Mommy and Daddy will appreciate it SOOOO much!
Mom and Dad…. sorry, but I was forced to take sides…
