At the age of two you just never know when a meltdown will occur! You cannot even see them coming often and they just appear from out of the blue! We had a jolly ole’ day today on our trip to the mall we saw two bucket trucks even and that was super cool! Charis had been in a super mood and we even had pictures taken this morning which she is not a big fan of but did great. After dinner Brad needed to run out and we decided to join him for the ride. We got to see a firetruck while we were out and two motorcycles which was again super cool. I believe that at some point during this time the meltdown switch was flipped. I am not sure how or why but this is where it began. Brad came back to the car after running in a store and Charis shared with him that we had seen a firetruck and two motorcycles then from no where she shared regarding the earlier spotting of the bucket trucks. All the way home she was asking to “see bucket truck”. I told her that they had all gone night night for the day and maybe we could see one tomorrow and Brad chimed in with they have all gone bye bye these our usual excuses did not work. Half way home she just melted we are talking crying and intense sadness over not seeing bucket trucks right then and before today she did not even know that they existed! Amazing to fall in love so quickly! We made it home and after one of our beloved stuffed animals and hugs and kisses we managed to calm down enough for bed only to be sad again once in bed. I do hope that we can see another bucket truck tomorrow or it could be a long day. Who really knows though as it just depends when and if the meltdown switch will still be flipped!
