No Woman, No Cry

  

If you know me, you know I am completely obsessed with pictures.. I had Marlee in picture people every two months up until the baby was born..Sav just turned two months so i figured it was safe to take her to the picture place (kinda germy with all those snot nose kids!)I had planned on Marlee wearing blue and Savannah wearing yellow but Miss Marlee decides she wants to wear yellow too lol
sisters <3
  The picture session goes great! the girls pose their lil butts off..but while we're waiting for the pictures to upload..i notice Marlee starting to get geared up..i'm in trouble..She runs my poor mom ragged through the mall (sorry mom!) and when it's time for her to come back in the store to chill out, the tantruming starts..so we get outta picture people with a few minor tantrums..no biggie..as we're walking through the mall we see those stupid little rides (that use to cost .25 which now cost $1..can you say rip off?) and she likes to sit on them..they don't have to move..she just sits on them..but they put a new one in..its like a virtual ride..of course she wants to do it..she sits her turn and when its over she wont come out of the ride..so i tell her that the other little kids need a turn and its time to go..tantrum after tantrum..i put her in the stroller in one of the stores b/c she keeps hitting me..you would think people are use to 2 yr olds screaming in stores..but no, they are staring *sigh* this makes me put my guard up and i get defensive..so i announce to the staring people that shes two and shes going to keep continue screaming b/c she's not getting out of the stroller..that made the on lookers continue with their shopping.. if you ever see a kid throwing a mega monster fit, there's a good chance they are autistic.. if you can help it, please don't stare..i'm sure that parent is trying their best..there is no reasoning with them..anything can set them off..lights, sounds, people..
  we make our way to the car..my mom puts her in the car while i get the stroller in my trunk..i give her a hug good bye and start to cry..she tells me it'll be ok and i know it will..but i just tell her sometimes it's so hard..i hate to sound like i'm complaining..but some days it's just completely exhausting..
  the rest of the night she was a good girl..she was super silly at dinner..she  took a cherry tomato out of my salad and put it in her baby stroller for a walk LOL i was cracking up..
  Tonight, poor Savannah has such bad gas :( she's been up crying for about 3 hours..she's starting to settle down now..i hope my poor baby feels better soon! 
  Tomorrow we are going to my parents because of the hurricane..hope everyone stays safe..prepare for the worst and hope for the best!

  1. What a roller coaster of a day! Aubrey has several autism markers so I know exactly what you mean about the tantrums. It is impossible sometimes to have a "normal" day, and just know you ARE doing your best and things will be ok!
