oh the temper...

Zoe has thrown two major temper-tantrums in as many days.

Yesterday in Costco.. I wouldn't let her man handle the plastic on the raw salmon.. so when I pulled her down from nearly crawling in the case, she had a royal melt down.. throwing herself onto her back, head back hard, kicking and screaming.. I walked away.. but Bruce couldn't (I was watching her from the backside of another meat case...).

This afternoon, about the same time, we took her to buy shoes.. it was right after eating, an easy two hours before her nap.. should have been fine. For some reason, she threw several screaming fits... or perhaps one long one... I think that it started when I tried to measure her foot (must have reminded her of the Dr. Office), and carried on through her trying to try on Dora sandals 2 sizes too big.. and me trying to get the ones that did fit ... In the end, we bought the clear pink Dora sandals and a pair of pokadot Vans-like shoes Rachelle would approve of. I had planned on trying a few stores, but we only made it to Payless.

But, she is wearing her shoes now.. while watching Dora.

I'm so exhausted and she is not yet two.
