Yesterday I went and picked up Levi from school. We were heading out to Hot Springs to do some shopping. We were pulling out of the schools driveway when he realized that his donut from that morning was gone. Micah had ate it, because Steve told him is okay. Little did we know it was going to cause the melt-down of the year. So I offered to go by Sonic and get him a grilled cheese or something for a snack. "NO I want a donut!" I try to restrict how much sugar they get and I was NOT going to let him have another donut.
He was still upset. "I don't want Sonic!" I proceed to drive by Sonic on our way out of town. He was going ballistic at this point. If I hadn't been to far we would have turned around the car and went home. So about two-three miles down the road, He decided he wanted Sonic. I told him, "We have already passed Sonic. I am not turning around now. We have gone too far." I did tell him that I would get him something to eat once we were in Hot Springs. That made it whole things worse.
Levi asked "Where are my Lego?"
Me "I don't know you had them. Are they at home?"
Levi "Yes! I want to go home!"
Me " No we are not going home. We have to go get groceries!" {By this time I was about ready to loose it myself}
Now he proceeds to tell me, "This is the worse day ever! Because Micah ate donut, you passed Sonic, and I didn't bring have his Lego's!" He was in melt-down mode, as if you couldn't tell. We haven't had one of these in a while. It was an interesting moment to say the least. I told him, "Calm down, take a breath! If you can't say anything nice then don't say anything a all." If he said something else I just might have gone off. He didn't even want his Nintendo at this time. That is BAD!
I am not sure how it all calmed down, but it did. Steve and I were trying not to laugh at him when He told us "This is the worse day ever!" It is a pretty rough day for a four-year-old.
I wish this was all that my bad days were!
