Just so you know, I LOVE target! One of my favorite places to go.. except for today Well here has been our day in a nutshell....
9:35~ We go over to Nana and Papas (my mom and dads) to say Happy Birthday and call my grandma.. Layne is a good boy.. You can tell he feels a lot better since he has been fighting a cold for the past week or so.. So I say, let go to Target to kill some time before nap..
10:15~ We are heading to Target
10:30~ We get out of the car at Target and he INSISTS on walking in the parking lot. Fine, just hold my hand. Oh no.. He wants to run around as a moving target for cars. I run and catch him. (Just envision a 9 month prego lady running to catch a 2 year old... ouch)
10:35~ We get inside finally after a half marathon outside and he doesn't want to sit INSIDE the cart. He demands to push the cart after a screaming fit. FINE, as long as he is holding it. I do remember saying "Do we need to go home?" and of course he answers "YES!" Shouldn't have asked that stupid question.
10:40~ He is off and on the cart the whole time.. and when I try to bribe him with Buzz toys if he sits in the cart, he says no. WTF? Since when doesn't he want a Buzzz toy? Whatever
10:45~ We get to the baby section, get a gift card and two potty seats. (One for my moms house, she wanted one too). Still won't sit in the cart..
10:50~ We swing by the nail polish just to see the new colors... Oh no, I saw a blur of colors because he decided to take off again..So after running the second time today, I decided he has ruined my experience at Target and its time to go home.
10:55~ We check out as I am holding him and people are thinking, WHAT IS THIS PREGO LADY doing with this two year old?
11:00~ We get to the car after a NICE walk to the car and he turns on FREAK OUT mode again. He wants to sit on a big boy seat and not in his car seat.. REALLY? I have had enough. I am on one side of the door and he sneaks to the other side about to open it. I have never moved so fast (30 lbs over weight) grabbed him and oh so nicely put him in his seat. I don't normally say he is a naughty boy to him, but boy or boy was that word coming out a lot in those 3 minutes.
11:00-11:20~ He cried the whole way home.. He tried to take off his sandles and they got stuck on his knee... Don't ask.. as we got home.. he thought it would be funny to take another couple running laps around the car.. and with all the workers around I didn't want him running into the street.. Awesome.. I may have this baby today I thought to myself..
11:30-12 Ate lunch with the bribe of a buzz candy
12:15~ As I am cleaning up, I bought a new bottle cleaner and gave it to him to play with and keep busy. Well, he brought it to me and it was soaked. "How is this wet?" I asked.. I already knew the answer... He had oh so graciously dipped it into the toilet.. there was a trail of potty water the whole way out of the bathroom..
I need a nap.
Your day with Layne sounds a lot like my days with Nico....gets even MORE exciting when you have a 2nd one to tote around!
