Toddler fits are awesome

I guess when you're hugely pregnant and haven't been to the gym in a week and a half, people automatically think you had the baby. So, it was like a welcome back today.
The best part was carrying Madeline out screaming because she couldn't take a toy cupcake with her. These people at the gym care must think the poor child has no toys at home with the way she becomes so attached and gives such a sad face that the ladies say she can just take the toy with her. Very sweet of them to rather her take the toy than to be sad, but that's not really teaching a toddler anything. So, I'm the bad guy, prying the toy from her hands, this is all after repeatedly asking her to just say good-bye and we'll play with it next time.
Toddler fits are awesome. They really are. More so AFTER they are already over...then you think about it and it makes you giggle. Last night, she had a fit because I gave her red grapes instead of green. In the moment of the fit, I found myself looking at her with wide eyes, thinking 'Is this chick really crying over the color of the grapes?'. Then I thought about how I felt on Saturday when I had my heart set on a Cannoli from Whole Foods. I walked in, went to the bakery and nothing...no Cannoli in sight. I really felt like that warranted a toddler fit...I felt it all throughout my body, like I really could have cried over it.haha. So, I can understand the tantrums...I think everyone should be allowed to have them. It's VERY hard not getting what you want and at their age, they don't understand WHY they can't have what they want. Hell, even at my age, I can't understand why I can't have what I want!
Hmmm...more toddler fit stories? I have tons of them. I could actually incorporate one every single time I post!
She's definitely a girl with her own mind. This morning, I went in her room to get her and she said, "Mommy, I have mench (french) toast, green grapes and manana for bekfast". Oh, and when we went downstairs so I could prepare this feast, she asked me to jump rope first. It always makes me laugh when my husband comes home and asks what we did all day....I would wear him out just telling him. Especially considering I have this baby inside, sucking the life out of me. Oh, did you just picture my big, pregnant ass butt jumping rope? Yeah, it's quite comical.
I just searched my phone for a picture, this is from a couple of days ago, so just add more hugeness and that's what I look like now.haha.

And considering I was just talking about how I need to put the safety net on the trampoline yesterday, I figured I'd share this...
Yep, he's trying to give me a heart attack.
