PB and J Shaped Like a Butterfly + a Tantrum...oh and a turtle

We switched to all natural peanut butter a while ago. During the peanut scare, I tried to make my own...not a good idea. It was one of the easier switches we have done.

Lately Andrew wants to eat ONLY peanut butter and jelly sandwiches ( I make my own jelly) cut and shaped like a butterfly. 24/7. Add fruit and we are good to go.


Our grocery store has a day care. I guess there are people out there that can't handle shopping with their kids. I am one of them, but I haven't used the day care. Joanne Domm (expert mother of many) told me once (I chant it several times a day...or several times a second at times)
"We teach our children, not tolerate them."
I am sure I have wasted a lot of time and money shopping with my kids....explaining unit prices and finding pickled pigs feet in the cart.

Anyhoo Ben had an expert tantrum outside the daycare yesterday,a perfect 10 as tantrums go. It helped that the day care was decorated nice and enticing.

As I was paying, Ben wandered to the end of the cashier stand to the day care. He, thinking the ball shape decoration was an ACTUAL ball, tried as he could to get that ball out of the wall. It was stuck however, which can frustrate a two yr old to no end. Nice people came to his rescue to explain to him that indeed it was not a ball. "Poor baby...do you want a ball? Do you want candy?>..."
He hit them, kicked them, laid down to scream.
I ignored it all. Well, after I took a few pictures and told him not to hit
He is my 7th.
It may have caused me to react if he was my 1-3 child....maybe 4th, but I was busy.

Besides, there are many languages I don't speak...Korean, Greek, and Tantrum just to name a few. So I payed my a lot of money for food bill, scoooped him off the floor, smiled my fake smile and walked out. If I wasn't almost done, I would have left my cart where ever and picked him up to leave.

Maybe I WILL use the daycare.
Naw.

Here is a turtle I say outside of the Sorenson in FL. Had to have been the FASTEST turtle ever. I would blog more but all I can hear right this very second is...

"Excuse Me...EXCUSE ME! Heeeelllooo MOM I want a peanut butter and jelly sandwich shaped like a butterfly."
At least he is wearing his manners today:P
