Today, I took Emma to the play land at McD's to get some playtime in with some other children. It was chaotic. I seriously hate it there. There was a little boy no older than three that was wearing snow boots and was kicking everyone down as they tried to come up the slide or stairs. He was terrorizing everyone he came in contact with. Within a twenty minute time frame, he had successful caused five different children to walk off the playground crying. One of them happened to be Emma. I was not happy about that, but I didn't want to cause a scene so I just hugged her and then made her stay away from that little boy.
I felt sorry for his Mom. She was alone with three little children. She kept saying, Michael stop kicking, Michael keep your hands to yourself. But the entire time she just sat in the chair and did not ever give the child a little more motivation for good behavior. He really needed discipline. He was a cute little boy, but his behavior was worse than anything I have almost ever seen in a child that young. Crazy.
The sad part is that several of the little children were afraid to go back in. I am laughing, but it was sad. Emma wasn't afraid at all. She usually can take care of herself. She is pretty bossy like her Mommy. ;)
I am so ready for summer to be here. I am more than tired of cold. I need a warm sunny vacation. I am seriously doing some research for a vacation for us in the near future. I am getting a little weary with the snow. I have been in Alaska since last September and that is too long for me. :)

Yikes! I can't stand children like that but it's completely the fault of the parent(s). I can be pretty lazy but not when it comes to discipline. Jake and I determined before we got married that we didn't want children that people couldn't stand to be around. We're not a structured family at all but Henry knows there's a line and it's not in his best interest to cross it. :)
my biggest fear is the whole you reap what you sow thing. i was a little devil.
