Outings with a toddler!

Hayden is at such a fun but difficult age. He is so full of personality but sometimes that lets him get away with too much. Last night we went to check out Dillard's 75% off sale and Brian told me that he would just carry Hayden around the whole time instead of using the stroller. Well, as you can tell, it didn't even last through the parking lot. Brian was the one shopping so I was the one chasing Hayden around for an hour. By the time Brian was done, I was done and didn't even want to shop for myself! Hayden found this hideous hat and insisted on carrying it around the whole time. I tried several times to put it back, but he would scream. A lady employee just told me to let him have it while we shopped. The funny thing is, I had just bought him his own bucket hat earlier that day and he didn't take the same liking to it. Oh, they have a mind of their own at such an early age. The video shows what he was doing with the hat the whole time and then shows him bolting away, another usual activity.

This is Hayden with MY slurpee. I was craving one so on the way home from the mall, we made a stop at 7-11. Let's make a guess to how much of this I actually got? Hayden has definitely reached the terrible twos a bit prematurely.
