Rough Day

Yesterday was a rough day at our house! Aidan was definitely in rare form. It was one of those days that makes you stop and question all of you parenting skills. We went to church on Sunday night and he acted great! Then after church we decided we would run and get something to eat. Big mistake!!! When we got to El Charro I could just tell something wasn't right. Aidan dumped his sauce out, threw chips on the floor, hit at us, pushed most of his fries off of his plate in a tantrum, pulled his straw out of his cup just to fling Sprite everywhere, knocked his cup over on purpose, etc. Are you getting the gist of it? I have honestly never seen him act like this and I hope it was just a one time thing. James and I finally just got to go boxes and took our food with us. On the way home James and I started talking about his behavior and questioning our parenting skills. You know the questions like-are we spanking him enough, are we spanking him too much, are we consistent, should we try sending him to time out more. I think we pretty much just over analyzed the situation and finally chalked it up to him just having a bad day! Don't we all have those from time to time. I'm praying that is all it was. Then we started talking about how grateful we are that he is able to be a stinker. There are so many children in this world that are sick and unhealthy so we just tried to find the bright side of his bad day! That night when he went to bed I had to take a picture of him because he looked so sweet and innocent. He really is such a good baby. We are so blessed to have him and will just learn to take the good days with the bad!
