Welcome to my World!

Jonathan finally got a "taste" of what it is like to take 2 young children to the grocery store during nap time.

We picked Jonathan up from work around lunchtime and we headed to Super Walmart in Robinson for lunch at Mickey D's and grocery shopping (McDonald's, although not my favorite choice always wins out because it requires me to only get the kids out of the car once... one stop shop!). So after a not-so-healthy lunch of Delaney's favorite "Chicken and fries" we headed into Walmart with baby Jonathan in the cart and Delaney roaming free next to us. It wasn't long before she became too tired to walk and then kept slipping out of her shoes. When asked to go and retrieve her shoes, we would get a tantrum. I could tell Jonathan's temper was wearing thin. He looked like he was going to blow a gasket any second.

And then Delaney blew! Full out tantrum in the dairy section. Screaming, whaling, stomping, you name it. I walked away. I let Daddy handle it.

We finally made it out of the store and to the safety of the car. My only comment... "Now do you see why I like to come shopping by myself" (I don't think that helped the mood)
