We had our first temper tantrum in a store

Q and I were out running errands this morning and we stopped at the party supply store just to see what kinds of things we might be able to find for favors for his birthday party. I saw a jingly toy that I decided to buy him, because he loves noisy things, and handed it to him to see if it was worth buying.
First mistake....he indeed loved it. But he was chewing on the packaging so much that I was worried he'd rip a hole in it and choke on it. SO I took it away from him...holy wailing tantrum. Normally I can distract him with something else, but he was really mad. At that point, I couldn't give it back to him, I just had a screaming baby until we could check out. I saw one of my professors from grad school walk in as we were paying, and normally would have liked to say hi, but I was too embarrassed (and distracted) by my screaming child. I thought it was too early for tantrums!! Please tell me we're not the only ones.

Haha! I like your use of the term "impressed." Yes, DS's tantrum today was impressive.
Kaitlyn & RLH- Glad I'm not the only one...maybe this means they're getting their tantruming out of the way now.

You are not the only one. Im proud of you for still checking out.
We haven't had to deal with any public tantrums yet but definitely a few at home. Reed loves to walk (holding onto our hands) and would like to do it all.day.long. Whenever I try to redirect him and get him to sit down and play with his toys, you would think his little world was ending. So dramatic!!
I do not look forward to the public tantrum!!
That's what I was thinking! So much for that...I have Happiest Toddler on the Block waiting on my night stand. I thought I had more time before needing to read it, but I guess I'll be getting to it sooner rather than later.

One can only hope. I thought I had more time to prepare for this, but I guess not. My favorite part of Abby's epic tantrums though is that Lil just looks at her like, "seriously, what's your problem?" She gets the major side eye from her sister.
