so, allyson had a temper tantrum over shoes.
yes, shoes.
how does a 2 year old know just the right buttons to push 10 minutes before you need to be somewhere? it is like clock-work. over shoes. shoes.
i didn't realize that little miss diva, herself, cared which shoes i put on her feet until today. i found out quickly there is a difference between the pink flip-flops and the red ones...i'm talking full-fledged tantrum. and then a shoe flying at my shin. good thing i am athletic and my reflexes kicked in, that sucker would have made a dent from the force behind little miss sassy's chuck if i had moved a split second slower.
it ended in a swift pop to the old tail area and of course me feeling bad all morning.
all so i could make it to the gym to relieve stress but somehow i managed to creat more for myself. everything i have ever read about not losing your cool in all my toddler textbooks went straight out the window at that single moment and i can now be welcomed to the club or should i say sisterhood (as my friend stacey refers to it).
someone please wake me when this phase of parenting is behind me and i can rationally speak with her, like in 16 years or so.

Oh my! She actually tried to kick you?? Which did she prefer? The pink or red? :)
Welcome Welcome to another chapter of the mother sisterhood. Unfortunately it doesn't get better. Jack will be 5 and we struggle over wearing jeans when it is 95 degrees. A swift swat in the rear doesn't hurt. I have told my children that God made it cushy for a reason.
that is hysterical stacey!
she didn't actually try to kick me melissa, she decided to chuck the red flip-flop at my shin - should i sign her up for shot put now or later?
she perferred the pink ones - go figure!
this morning is looking much better - thank goodness.
