Current mood: awake
I forgot to mention this little story yesterday but I was reminded of it when I recently passed by the carcuss of a dead Tinkerbell balloon. So I thought I would mention it.
Yesterday the three of us went to WinCo to pick up some groceries for a BBQ at the house. Mia had been in a great mood all day. Daddy even took her to the park earlier in the day, however, once we hit the grocery store she did a complete 180!
For the first time ever, she started whining and fussing and full out screaming in the store!!! Nothing was appeasing her, she just wanted to grab everything out of the cart and destroy it! She was constantly upset and when we realized we were in some serious trouble, Adrian and I split up and ran around the store picking up the things we needed so we could hurry up and get out of there ASAP.
Once we got to the check out line Mia noticed the balloons!! OH NO!! Not again! Adrian and I both got flash backs from her Elmo Balloon incident at Cardenas just a couple of days ago. After Mia started fussing louder, refused to sit down and demanded Adrian hold her we decided to do the bad parent thing and give her a balloon anyways (I KNOW I KNOW!) So we picked out the Tinkerbell balloon for her. It was actually pretty cute. Once Mia got the balloon she sat down quietly and let us pay for our stuff without anymore fussiness.
The balloon was a tiny one with a giant Tinkerbell on it. It is one of those mylar type balloons that never pop or deflate and has a stick for a handle. We figured this could be Mia's new toy and it would be around for a long time... WRONG!!!
When we got home she carried that little balloon on its stick all over the house. Adrian was preparing the BBQ while I was preparing the food, so neither of us were really watching Mia closely. She was quietly watching her Elmo with her Balloon and eating a piece of pair. She was happy.
Then I noticed her balloon... it was saggy and deflated and the stick was missing!!!!! What the Heck!??!? Somehow Mia managed to destroy the balloon anyway and it was all messed up. Oh no!!! Sigh ... ah well....
So ya, even with all of Tinkerbell's magic pixie powers it was no match against Mia's destructive powers!!!! R.I.P. Tink....
