Today was good. Ethan practiced walking. He goes one day crawling a lot and the next day walking a lot. He cannot make up his mind which one works better for him. Today was walking. He walked around the house. He walked around the yard. He went on a walking adventure in Target. Man, he loved that! He was under the impression that they made that big space full of all sorts of goodies just for him. I had to burst that bubble. Or try. It went something like this:
Ethan grabbed something he should not have.
"No, no Ethan"
*reaches for it again*
"NO NO Ethan"
*reaches for it again*
I take his hand away from it "no no"
"ahhhhhh" * wimper* "AHHHHHHH!!!!!"
* head shake* firm voice "Uh-Uh, buddy"
*confused look* *half smile* "AHHHHHHH!!!!" *giggle* "AHHHHHHEEEE!!!"
Technically it was not a temper tantrum, but it sure was loud and obnoxious.
People walked by and smiled or chuckled. And, I mean, honestly that just egged him on.
"Aheee" *trill* "aheeeuhhhaaaa"
I understand the smiles. I get it, it is cute in a way, but am I the only one who can see this turning ugly real quick? And he is loud. I mean LOUD. (Needless to say, we are working on the store etiquette.)
On the bright side,though, who would have thought a trip to Target could be so entertaining/embarrassing/adventuresome/absolutely perfect.
All in a days work for my little explorer. All in a day's work.
