Bucket of Chalk

I had a very tough afternoon with giacomo today. we went to the park and he got into a fight. here's how it went down: a little boy brought a bucket of chalk - and as you must know - there are atleast a dozen pieces of chalk in a bucket - anyway - when you bring your toys to the park its fair game! so giacomo took 2 pieces of chalk and the boy freaked out and started grabbing them from giacomo, which in turn made giacomo freak out and so i decided to pull him away from the situation - after explaining to him that you have to share! even though it wasn't giacomo who was not sharing. anyway - he was so upset when i was trying to force him into the stroller, hyperventilating, going ballistic to say the least..anyway leaving the park he screamed repeatedly for 10 minutes that he wanted a "bucket of chalk! bucket of chalk!bucket of chalk!!!!!". so - of course - i bought him a bucket of chalk!!


then we went home and ofcourse he would not nap - so i took him back out again and he proceeded to scream and cry for 30 minutes non stop because he wanted to "watch tv mommy! watch tv mommy! watch tv mommy!".

so i'm fried right now....... but here! enjoy some pics of giacomo happy with his bucket of chalk!

this summer is gunna be tough at the park - thats all i can say. the terrible twos are all here my friends.
