i am dreading the day when chet is old enough to throw a good temper tantrum in a public place. i always pitty the mom of the nasty kid in the grocery store that is freaking out. unfortunately, i am sure that i will be the mom of that kid one day. bummer.
today i felt like i got a taste of what that feels like. we were on a walk.
as we walked it got hotter and hotter, so i got tricked into walking further and further so that i could enjoy more heat. we walked up to the temple, around campus, down to the park. i sort of lost track of time. and then, all of a sudden, chet decided he was hungry. no, not hungry, i am pretty sure he thought he was on the brink of death due to lack of food. at least, that it what his crying sounded like. it was bad timing because i was still about 20 minutes from home when he realized this. i tried everything to calm him down. i tried bundling him, and unbundling him, and giving him his soother, and talking to him, and singing to him, and playing my ipod next to him, and rocking the stroller, and sitting him up, and laying him down. but nothing worked. he wanted food.
sooo...i just walked. it was a loong 20 minutes. and it was really embarrassing when i had to walk past people. especially moms that were out on a walk with their smiley children. although, i'm assuming they've been there too. happens to the best of us, right?!
i am happy to report that chet did not die from hunger, despite the fact that he thought he was going to. we made it home and dad was there with a bottle ready and waiting.
my goodness!
