Don't you just love Target? I see the red sign and get excited. The days of strolling each aisle, comparing prices and finding the best deal are over. Hailey isn't a fan of Target or any other place for that matter. I'm afraid that we have hit our limit with her for a while.
She was out of Pedialyte, bland food and wipes. Oh boy the wipes we have gone through the past week. I am guessing a package of 88 a day. Seriously. Moms you know how many diapers that is. She just wasn't having the shopping trip. Hailey was that kid throwing the crazy fits while screaming and kicking like a wild woman. We've all seen those kids and until now, I never felt truely sorry for the parents. Now, I do. I rushed around to get our items, checked out and cried all the way to the car. Once we were outside, she was fine and I was the one bawling. It's the age I know, everyone goes through it and we'll make it. Temper tantrums are almost inevitable. These intense meltdowns are a regular part of her development. Even if I tried my hardest and worked around her schedule and wants, I've come to realize that the tantrums will still erupt from time to time and I know they won't last a life time hence the nick name, terrible twos. I held her close and kept reminding myself that it is normal while we were watched walking out of Target. Hailey is now going to stay with Auntie Collins when I do my errands!!!!
Chris is heading our way in the morning so it will be nice to see him. Hailey and I had planned on heading to Austin last Thursday for the weekend but with her getting sick, our plans changed. Hailey will be thrilled when she sees him. The last time he came to see us, she jumped up and down and squealed when she saw him. I have her Valentine's gifts ready, a small stroller that folds up tiny for her smaller dolls and a HUGE Dora blanket. I am washing the blanket now so that she will be able to use it when we give it to her tomorrow. Chris and I just plan to do dinner if Hailey is doing okay. Maybe I can talk him into a date at Timothy's??
Well Hailey has been asleep for a little over two hours and my pictures are finally finshed downloaded. I downloaded everything from my camera onto a really old and slow computer so it took what felt like years.
I'll post a lot of pictures later.

I felt your pain as I was reading this. They will have those screaming fits no matter what. People do look at you funny and wonder why you can't get your child to stop. I've had the looks already. I have also left a few stores in tears.
Just yesterday Boyd pulled down a Valentine's display and about 50 large boxes of candy fell to the floor. What is more frustrating is that no one helped me pick them up and the aisle was full of people.
It is a stage and they will grow out of it. I always thought "my child won't scream and yell and have fits". Well, he does. It's so frustrating.
Sorry for writing so much. I can totally relate with you here, right now!
Sounds like you have a nice weekend planned. :)
