pOp !

So, there we were at 'Once Upon a Child', a used clothing store just for babies and kids. I had just combed the overly stuffed racks and picked out the cutest little red coat for winter for Xander, when I first heard it...

pOp!

pOpItY PoP POP!

Yep Xander had just found one of those Fischer Price Popper thingies in one of the aisles, and was a having a blast running it up and down the aisles, and through the racks.

Oy Vie.

Well it was only 4.50 and even with the price of the coat, I'm still saving lots, so I give in and decide to buy it for him.

He was thrilled!

So thrilled, that he then found a second Popper, and was now pushing both of them around the store, one in each hand and just giggling a away.

But then Mommy decided it was time to leave the store and the thrill was gone...
the giggling was gone....

and

The Tantrum had begun...

Yep, the moment all moms dread had finally come...

The screaming tear filled rage of your child's world that is crashing to a huge fiery end, because your the meanest parent in the world type of tantrum.

If it hadn't of been so cute and funny I probably would have been upset too, but you gotta love the first one.

So to make a long story short Alex now has a new favorite toy!

And guess what?!

Its a real Toy!!!

The only way I could get him into the car that day

And so for the next TWO hours this is what he looked like.

(I was cowering on the couch from the noise)

Even when it was bed time he wouldn't let go...

If he wasn't so darned cute I think I would have "accidently" lost this toy.

Chris says its photos like this
that will make our therapy bill so high.
