Two year olds are their own kind of beast. The other day Kara and I went shopping-looking. But we went in and out of 4 stores. By the time we hit the third store Saige was done with the stroller. Even her McDonalds lemonade wasn't going to make her sit. Fine. I held her into Ross and tried to put her in a basket. As I lifted her up she screamed about as loud as her little body would allow (it was loud) and then kicked her legs back and forth like a mull. People were staring. I wonder what they were thinking.
So I thought FINE! but she was walking. I was done holding all 28 pounds of her. I put her down and grabbed her little hand. She was having NO part of it. She threw herself down on the ground -crying-and threw her little head back. I heard a loud bang and then got a horrible look from some woman. I won't repeat what was going through my head at the moment bc of that look.
I held her and again tried putting her down. She threw herself down again but this time we were at the back of the store. Reese walked over to her and said "GET UP. WE DON'T DO THIS!" and Then looked at me and said "lets just leave her"! LOL!!
Finally I scooped up my two year old and we left. We still managed to hit Target but gave Saige a cookie to sit still in the basket. She did. Happily too :)
She is such a funny little thing. Even though there are days when we have fits in stores with horrible stares from people I wouldn't change a thing about her. She cracks us up and is really SO sweet! Just very very determined.
