Pitiful at the Playground

Are you starting to sense a theme of toddlerhood and extreme emotions in my blogs? I think motherhood is all about the highest of highs sometimes peppered with the lowest of lows when your kids are upset, angry, hurt, or frustrated. What a chaotic mix! With Connor 99% of the times are logical and wonderful, but when it comes time to leave the playground that 1% of stubborn rears its ugly head.

It starts off so innocently. Happily playing on the playground equipment (in this case at a rest stop on the side of the highway), not a care in the world...Even time to let mommy tickle and to laugh for a photo!But even with fair warning, leaving the playground is a chore. She just loves to play. I wish going to the P-L-A-Y-G-R-O-U-N-D (we have to spell it in our house or Connor goes nuts) wasn't such a chore at the finale. But that is sometimes just life as a nearly two-year-old!
