First Tantrum in Public

So yesterday we had our first full blown tantrum in public courtesy of Miss Elyse. But to her defense it was 1:30 and they hadn't had a nap yet and we had spent a long day already at the zoo. She had my cell phone and was riding in the wagon and when I took it away when we next stopped she let it rip. The funny part is she was calling for DADA because thats what they say when they see the phone. So we were in an indoor play area and she is screaming arching and flinging while yelling DADA in a very sad voice.

Been there, done that! Hopefully you only have to deal with it once!

As a witness to this meltdown I must say it was far worse for mommy then it seemed to everyone else. Elyse did look quite sad but her mom is a pro and really, for a public tantrum it wasn't as bad as it could be!Cheers to many more moments that remind us why we love our kids even when they put us in in uncomfortable situations!

I had two kids tantruming at the same time one time at an indoor playground. People were giving me the combo "pity" and "Could you make your kids shut up?" look!
