I think I've posted on this subject before, but Big Sissy has been quite a challenge for the last several months. She's learning to be independent, but if she needs help or you do something for her that she wanted to do herself, it turns into a full-blown tantrum/ordeal that sometimes ends in tears for all of us (literally). I keep thinking it's getting better, and then Monday she did it at Chic-Fil-A. How embarrassing. I felt like everyone was watching to see if (1) my child had some kind of disorder that would make one behave that way and (2) what I would do to handle it. I hate being watched. She literally kicked off her shoe in the tantrum, and some kind lady kept it on her table until we returned from the tantrum in the bathroom.
But...she still has her sweet little girl moments, which gets us through the hard days. Tonight I was hugging her good night. She gave me the sweetest hug and said, "Mommy, I wish we could just hug forever." Oh, how I wish we could too!!!! I love those moments. Let's just hug forever and forget potty training, learning to get dressed, eating vegetables, and trying to get anywhere on time. What do those things really matter anyway?
