Monday, we went to target to pick up a few things (most of which I never got) and to get Meg a pack of crayons and her 1st coloring book. BOY, was this a MISTAKE!!! Luckily before we got to the crayons, I picked up me one last piece of maternity clothing, a cute summer shirt, and diapers. Once we found the crayons and but them in the basket she had ripped into them immediately and was shouting "color, color!!" When we got to the check out line, I had to give the cashier something so we could pay, so I gave her the partly broken box and Meg started to melt down. Then we made it to the car and it is only 100 degrees so I had to take them away, I did not want to rish one getting lost and melting in my car. So t he melt down continues. Then when we get home the meltdown escalated and finally ends in front of the pantry. (This is the first time the melt down has nothing to do with wanting 'lunch'). I was able to unload the dishwasher, mix up homemade ranch mix, and start lunch all while she was laying in the the floor kicking and screaming. Then she finally stopped and I put her at the table to finally color. She did color a bit, but then she proceeded to take a bite out of a lot of them as well. Needless to say, the colors and coloring book are gone...for a LONG while. I guess there is a reason the crayons said 24+ MONTHS :)
the ripped box....
