Moments in your life

I need to do a better job of documenting stories from your every day life.  Here are a couple current stories:

Yesterday we went to Walmart to grab a few groceries.  When I went up to the front to pay, I loaded all the groceries on the counter.  While I was talking to the clerk, you reached out and grabbed the milk jug and pulled it off the counter.  It hit the floor and broke and milk went e.v.e.r.y.w.h.e.r.e.  Including on me.  All the clerks that were nearby grabbed their paper towel rolls from under their tills and came running.  I was MORTIFIED to the point of tears!!  I kept apologizing over and over while I tried to help clean up.  Everyone was really nice but I was so embarrassed that I left without getting a replacement milk because I just wanted to leave. 


Today it took forever to get you down for your nap.  It was past your naptime so I knew you were tired.  You're usually pretty good going down for your nap so I knew we were going to have problems when I laid you in your crib and and you scrambled to stand right back up.  I left anyway, hoping you'd lay back down and go to sleep.  No such luck.  You spent half an hour blabbing and calling out while I watched you from downstairs on the baby cam.  You threw your toy monkeys out of the crib, and eventually you took off your socks and threw those out too.  Then you pushed yourself into the corner by the wall and stretched and stretched until your fingertips could scratch at the tree decal on the wall and you peeled off as much as you could.  Finally I decided to go in and to the bedtime routine over again in hopes that this time it would take.  I took in a warm bottle too as an extra incentive.  You gobbled down your bottle while I rocked you.  Your eyes were closed most of that time so I thought we were good to go, but as soon as I started toward the crib you whimpered "no, no!"  So we sat down again and read a couple books.  You were rubbing your eyes so I decided just to put you down and let you cry it out.  Of course, your mom is kind of a sucker, so when I walked over to the crib and you said "no no!" again I let you just snuggle in my arms while I patted your back.  We stood like that for a few minutes and then you started to point toward the door to say you wanted to go out.  I told you that it was time to go night-night and you pouted and said no, but I gave you a big kiss and said yes, and laid you down.  Thankfully you stayed put although you made sure to pout up at me.  I ruffled your hair and gave you a kiss and your monkees and left, and thankfully you just closed your eyes and eventually fell asleep.  It was all very cute, but only because you finally gave in.  I don't want to fight over naps yet!
