Lili.
Here is one of your favorite things to do as of late…I think it is a reflection of your upcoming teen years but I can’t be sure…
On days that Super Nanny is not watching you I take you to the park. I often run into Super Nanny (watching another kid two days a week) and Super Nanny’s friends. Everyone is nice and says hello to me and you. You SMILE and BEAM and REACH for Super Nanny but then I take you away.
Within two seconds you start to meltdown. You squirm and back bend. You throw a fit. Today I had to do a emergency diaper change in the park and just when Super Nanny and friends walked by you threw your dirty diaper at me and kicked your foot into my stomach and squirmed so hard you nearly fell off the bench and I nearly dropped you. I then attempted to put you in your stroller but you became stiff as a board and it was like trying to strap a wooden spoon into a stroller.
I know not everyone in the park including Super Nanny was saying, “Psst – Look at that bad Mom..unable to control her child” – but today it sure felt like it.
Kinda like how I felt taking my 6 year old into the emergency room for his second major head trauma. Ummm, yes, he has been here before. Ummm, yes, he was running across 50 haybales with us watching. Ummm, no, we would not like a meeting with social services. But, thank you for offering.
