It figures…
Charlie has a runny nose today.
I’m sure it has nothing to do with our trip to the commissary on Wednesday. I let him sit in one of those cute shopping carts that looks like a truck. He *licked* the steering wheel. Ewwwwwww. Not a whole lot that antibacterial gel can do for that.
The shopping trip ended in that special kind of public humiliation that is reserved for parents of toddlers. While standing in the checkout line, Charlie managed to grab a package of blueberries and dump them all over the floor in spectacular fashion – picture bouncing, rolling berries everywhere. Cue temper tantrum. He was mad, because he did not intend to dump the blueberries, he intended to eat them. And there I stood, surrounded by blueberries and unable to clean up the mess because I needed both arms to restrain my kicking, screaming 2-year-old. Good times.
Maybe I am not ready for kids.
January 27th, 2008 at 9:43 amAw, I didn’t mean to be so negative. The reason I put that little picture with Matthew 11:30 on the right side of my page is that I think its so appropriate to parenting. Its like that old army recruiting ad – having kids is “the toughest job you’ll ever love.”
I wasn’t “ready” for kids. The tough moments can really knock you out, but so can the truly great ones.
January 29th, 2008 at 2:05 pmGreat stuff! That reminds me of the time when Jac was about Charlie’s age and he spit and entire mouthful of Sprite on some unsuspecting couple at McDonald’s. I was carrying him out in full tantrum because he did not want to leave the play area and he did a full spew on these poor people as we passed by. What do you say? Sorry, my kid is a maniac. Gotta love it!
