Those of you with a 2 year old will know they can turn from Jekyll straight into Hyde in seconds, one minute they're the loveliest little cherub possible and suddenly in the blink of an eye they explode with emotion and they do not care if they are in public either.. So there we were, enjoying some quality time together, a lovely little winter's walk (a bloody freezing one at that), when we spotted them, the huge muddy puddles in the distance, usually not a problem when Abbie has her wellies on, but typically on this day we couldn't find them anywhere so her smart boots where the only way to go...we tried distracting her, trying to get her involved in the trees and leaves she was ever so fascinated in 2 minutes ago, but it was too late, she'd seem them, and she wanted to be in them, this resulted in me running and grabbing her just as she was about to set foot into Peppa Pig's idea of heaven, that was it, I was the most hated person in Britain. Her back arched, her feet kicked, her face looked positively distraught and the screams were met with little smiles and giggles from passers by, it was a long 60 seconds, but we made it, we walked past every puddle, and all was forgotten, Abbie was back and peace was resumed...well, until I wouldn't allow her to walk in a restricted area that is, but still, we all survived the traumatic event, phew! I didn't realize Ben had taken these photos, but I'm actually glad he did, they make me giggle, and will be great to show Abbie when she's older too!
What is a toddlers life without tantrums? Pretty damn boring if you ask me, they can be stressful, funny and damn right silly, but it's all part of bringing up a child, you go through bad times and you learn to deal with them, I tend to share all the lovely happy photos on here so thought this could break the cycle and give you all a little giggle and a ''I know how that feels'' moment too! Happy Sunday! x
