Although not really at the time.... Today, I had an intense craving so we headed to the grocery store (which is my second home). Lily has become really independant and hates to ride in the cart, after all she is a "big girl" and would rather walk. So, we were on a mission for only two things (powdered doughnuts and mozzerella sticks-mmmm) and I thought she could walk beside me and hold my hand this time. She did great-feeling all grown up and smiled and waved at everyone. And then just as we were headed to the check-out she spotted it...a valentine display! Ugh, with hundreds of stuffed animals and chocolate galore-her two favorite things. She took off running and immediately latched on to one of the bears. I tried to quietly explain that yes, it was cute but put it back we have 20 of those at home. Nope. Her first real grocery store meltdown with flailing body parts and crying. So with everyone's eyes on me, I tried to calmly lean down, pick her up and look her right in the eyes to tell her to stand up and hold my hand and we were going-without the bear. She got over it and we got out of there as quickly as possible. Oh the good ole times. I'm sure this will not be the last time we do this and I'm sure it will be worse somewhere else. However, for the most part I should say that she is well-behaved and loving (with a side of stubborness) and very, VERY entertaining.
