Yesterday, was Adrianna's day to hang out with the Ailey and Brea. Brea wasn't able to get together with us so we just got together with Ailey and decided to meet at the mall. Adrianna did alright at first and was even fine with staying in her stroller for a little bit. But that didn't last long...she didn't want to stay in her stroller anymore which I was fine with and let her out to walk but she kept running away from me...refused to hold hands or help push the stroller and just wanted to go where she wanted to go. So we decided to head over to the play area at the mall which worked for a few minutes but then it was back to running away from me. I tried to put her back in the stroller since she wouldn't listen and she just made her self stiff and had a full fledged temper tantrum right in the middle of the mall....so needless to say after fighting with her for a while we decided to head home early. I felt bad for leaving Libby and Ailey at the mall but the mall just wasn't working for Adrianna. She just really doesn't like to be confined anymore at all...she does well with still sitting in high chairs and riding in a shopping cart..but doesn't really like the stroller that much at all.
Once we got home she was an angel the rest of the day. She loved playing with all of her toys, reading books and using stamps for the first time (an early b-day present from my cousin).
She ended up taking a 3 1/2 hour nap, so I guess she was just really tired and wanted some time to just play at home.
Ahhh, the joys of toddlerhood! At least you can still get her to sit in a shopping cart, and high chair. Sadie refuses to be confined in anything. Makes for some very long shopping trips.
