Thus far I have been pretty lucky that I have not had to take Sennet with me on many shopping trips.  Kevin has braved Costco with him a few times but today was my first time taking him.  Before we even got in the car, Sennet as very unhappy with the way I let him close the door.  He is a very particular kid- long story.  Anyway, he sat on the porch for 12 minutes (from the point I first glanced at my watch) screaming, taking off his boots, throwing his water bottle, dumping out his snack bag…. I stood by the car the entire time and just kept asking if he wanted to come to the store with me or not. A few neighbors watched the meltdown- fun times.  And then, literally out of no where, he put on his boots and put a huge smile on his face (like this incident never happened) and walked out to the sidewalk.  I had no idea why until he yelled “green trashtruck” and jumped up and down and waved at the trash guys- who by the way totally ate it up.  Oh- and the Costco trip was fine once we got in the car.
