The other day we were shopping at Wal-Mart perusing through the children's department. Brian found a pair of Batman pajamas WITH a cape! Since we are all about Batman these days, Brian decided the pajamas were a must have. Fortunately, Ethan liked them too.
We continued our shopping and walked passed something Ethan couldn't live without.
(I would tell you what it was but I just don't remember because I knew he could live without it and refused to buy it.)
Insert whining child here.
I. Hate. Whining.
(I'm not sure how to stop it otherwise I would already have done it. So any pointers? I'm all ears.)
Back to my story.
In Wal-Mart. Mom wouldn't buy toy. Whining begins.
I quickly stopped the cart and looked at him in the eyes and threatened, "If you do not stop whining, Mommy will put back your Batman pajamas."
He paused.
"THEN I'M GONNA CRY!!!!"
He threatened me right back just as loud as he could. Age 2. Lucky for him I was in a good mood and found it funny.
Lord, help me make it to three. And will you do something about all the whining? Will you make all 3 year olds NOT WHINE? Better yet, let's make it the 11th commandment. Amen.

Oh, I so feel your pain!!!!! (John Thomas cried so much in Walmart yesterday that I found myself in the "self-check" lane with a bazillion items just trying to get out of there as quickly as possible! All the while, he is yelling for a piece of turkey that we had purchased at the deli counter. Like he would even eat it!!!!!!!!! I feel your pain, Sister!
