This week Mikey has been a bit emotional/weepy. Not sure if this is a two-year-old phase or if he is coming down with something. My guess is he is feeling just fine because he was an angel for Eva on Tuesday. Lucky Mommy gets the blunt of it. Yipee.
Mikey had his first tantrum out in public yesterday---at Toys R Us of all places! He had his rain boots on in the car, but kicked them off and wouldn't let me put them back on before we got out of the car, so he needed to ride in the cart. Mikey didn't think so. He wanted me to carry him, my bag and the item that we were exchanging. I think he was partially hungry and thirsty, but offering food at that point in time didn't work. The looks we got from the other customers were just plain MEAN, like no one elses kid ever tantrums. To quote my friend Leah "Oh come on. In Toys R Us? Puh-lease". I remember reading articles online about how your kid will inevitably have a tantrum in a public place (and how to handle it) yet thinking the whole time "not MY kid!". Ha!
This week Mikey has some new favorite toys. He received a Toy Story themed Lego set from his friend, Zoe for his birthday party. It has a garbage truck and blocks for stacking, as well as characters from the movie: Woody, Buzz Lightyear and an alien. Mikey has seen the Toy Story movie twice and now gets the concept that the figures are from the movie. He requests the movie constantly (more so than the beloved "trucks" if you can believe it!) and takes his new "friends" everywhere---in the car, to the gym, to his room for diaper changes, to the table for meals, EVERYWHERE. I know what he will be watching as we drive to New Jersey tomorrow night! I'm not sure if I want to bring these "friends" with us to Florida and risk them getting lost somewhere amongst all of the commotion on the plane, etc. We'll have to come up with a better (or bigger) option.
Happy Thursday!
