Today I went to the post office with Charlie (without a stroller). He definitely showed everybody that he is in the terrible 2's phase!! He didn't want me to hold him and he didn't want to stay next to me. Well, sorry Charlie you have to stay with me when I am in line!!! I gave him 2 m&ms to bribe him to stay with me and he threw those on the ground. Then, the lady helping us gave him a Mickey sticker and he threw that on the ground too. All of this while I can feel everybody judging me (especially all of the older people who haven't been in this stage in a long time and have forgotten what it is like) Ugh! The lady helping me asked what was in my packages. I said frames. She asked if they have glass. I said yes. She asked if I wrapped them well. I said that I put them in a bubble package. (Mind you this whole time Charlie is fighting me to get out of my arms and fussing). Then she asked if she dropped them from up high if they would break. I wanted to scream "at this point I don't care if they break just hurry up!!" But I resisted the urge! Then I managed to get out my credit card while barely holding Charlie. Paid and got the heck out of dodge!! Charlie screamed the whole way to the car and I could barely get him buckled because he was arching his back! I even tried the car pacie (he only gets a pacie in the car and at bedtime). That didn't work...he threw it out if the door before I could shut it! Y'all he was terrible!!! So I drive 10-15inutes home while listening to Charlie cry and scream at the top of his lungs while I scream, "what do you want? Use your words!" He finally gets out the word "sticker". Really Charlie?? Really, you want the sticker that you threw on the floor??? Ugh! He continues to cry and when we got home he went to his room to pout! I come out to the den to pray. I go in his room calmly and hug him and live on him. I explain to him what he did wrong and told him I was mad and sad. We hugged and kissed and made up. He has been very loving the rest of the day! I know it is just a phase, but it is hard! I do love that boy no matter what though.
So now I am looking at strollers! Ha!!
