We went out with the boys this morning to get Jude's pictures taken. We have been less than prompt in getting him in for his 3 month pictures, so now that he is 4 months we figured we had better get moving on it. We went into the store and were ushered right back. Jude was doing pretty well, but Jaden and Jacob were not. They were LOUD and completely out of control. They were being good to each other, the problem was that their behavior was so LOUD, so disruptive that even though they were having a great time, no one else was. The people working the photo area were kind and tried to help, but that really only made it worse as the boys figured they were getting that much more attention for it. After trying and failing at multiple disciplinary options, the photo shoot was stopped and Kristen reviewed the pictures that we had been able to capture. The boys and I headed out to the car. As we walked out with their hands in mine, you would think they would realize that they should cool it...I mean the threats against lost toys, playtime, privaleges and everything else should have already let them know they were in a bad spot....but no. Instead, they kept it up to the car and even once in the car. It was only by the grace of God that I had any patience at all.
I know that I probably embarrased my parents on numerous occassions while in public...especially as Joel and I loved to fight, so this is probably the old saying of "May you be blessed with a child just like you." coming to fruition.
