"Parenting: If you're not tired...you're not doing it right!" It's all fun and games...until it happens to you!! As I'm sitting in Jason's Deli for lunch with my mom, mamaw, baby brother, and my son we enjoyed our salad bar lunch with little to no fussing. Of course most of the food I fed Matthew he threw on the ground and demanded to play with my keys. At this particular place they have free soft serve ice cream. So, I decided to be the best mom ever and go get some ice cream for Matthew. I get back to the table and he decides he is going to scream (loudly i might add) to be picked up. I have no other choice but to take him out of the high chair, because lets face it, no mom wants to be the mom who sits in the restaurant and lets her kid throw a fit. I try to give him ice cream and he continues to be an absolute monster. I look at him, as i try to sit him back in the high chair, and I tell him "you are going to sit back down." It is then that he kicks one leg behind him as far as he could to keep me from putting him back in the chair. Then, as he completely throws his back out my baby brother throws a full cup of ice cream and it lands in my lap and goes all down my leg. I now have ice cream all over me and a baby screaming. I get up look at my mom and mamaw and say "we are going to the car"....I think I had enough. As I sit in the car almost in tears because I'm thinking to myself why is my child so bad? What did I do to make him think he can just throw a fit and get away with it. He's only 9 months old this is only going to get worse. I start to laugh as I replayed what had just happened in that restaurant and how crazy I must have looked. When my mamaw got in the car she says "Do you think people were staring?" My mom, myself, and my mamaw get silent then just start bursting out laughing. Because of course people were staring. Of course people were whispering and making comments. Of course I looked insane trying to keep my 9 month old from doing acrobats at the table(seriously though). But you know what? If you don't laugh at yourself, you'll cry. It's going to happen...so you might as well just do the best you can and look crazy doing it. Thanks for stopping by. I hope my story amused you all!
