What A Day!!!!!

This has been a crazy day! For the past couple of weeks, Adam has been pretty much on the well-behaved side and no major problems have occurred. Somehow though, today just seemed to turn that little train around and head it in the opposite direction. Since he got up at 8:30 this morning, he has been a terrible 2 year old. Now I know I may shock a few of you, but it's true. He has been completely unruly and just outright unbearable today. He woke up in an okay mood, but as we walk into Walmart today to get groceries, he started being a brat. He refused to sit in the buggy at first. It took both Wes and myself to get him in the buggy without causing a huge scene as the Walmart greeter just looked on like we were crazy or something of that nature. Then later on, after dropping the groceries off at home, we met up with my parents at Waffle House because it was almost 1 PM and I had not had anything to eat yet. Needless to say, we get there and he doesn't want to sit in a seat that they have and as you may know, Waffle House booths are not that big. He decided he wanted to show his attitude while we were there, so I took him to the restroom and showed him what happens when he doesn't behave in public places. Afterwards, I thought maybe a break might help so once we left Waffle House, we let Adam go with my parents to do whatever they had to do before my mom went to work. Once we all got back to the house, my dad informed me that Adam had only had a 5-10 minute nap in the car. GREAT!!!!!!! So this evening has been a continuance of what occurred earlier in the day. I have already had to make Adam sit on the couch twice and have gotten on to him about 3 times. I know that we should just be appreciative of them and trust me I am. I thank God for my child all the time! He is a miracle and a blessing, but sometimes it's hard to remember that part when you are having to be a disciplinarian and deal with the tantrums of a 2 year old.
