Naughty with a Capital N

Case exerted his independence today at Wal-Mart. We were at the checkout line and Case decided to switch out his purchase last minute. I did not approve the switch. A major melt down ensued. He was screaming and crying. He was kicking and running away when I tried and tried and tried to put him in a time out. Finally I put him in the cart and started out for the car. Still screaming he tried to leap out of the cart and fell head first in the parking lot. Miraculously, even though he went head first, his head actually didn’t hit the ground. However a swarm of people who witnessed the tumble rushed to our cart to assist. The scene of people kind of distracted him and he was attempting to calm down by breathing deeply and then…. the icing on the cake, he puked all over himself and me while I held him. Such a sweetie 99% of the time. I guess he had an off day, but whew, what an off day! Lordy, lordy. Someone needs a nap.
