You know what sucks? Everyone else's kids...
My baby is the first to arrive at the location. She runs back and forth with a walker. She is having a great time.
Baby Mood Level: Squealing with happiness
Then, the other kid (henceforth known as kid B) shows up. The other kid is a little older and in a more possessive stage.
Baby Mood Level: REALLY happy. "Another baby?! Yuuuuus!"
It starts well. Kid B offers my girl a toy, which she happily accepts.
Baby Mood Level: Still happy as a pig in shit.
After much playing with smaller toys, my girl moves back to the walker that she had been having such a great time with, previously.
Baby Mood Level: HAPPY! "I love that toy!"
My girl plays with said toy until Kid B spots this. Kid B promptly runs over and knocks my girl over.
Baby Mood Level: So hurt! In hysterics. "What an injustice! How could I be so mistreated?"
My girl decides that she really wants at this toy, or the similar toy and tries again. Same. Results.
Baby Mood Level: So hurt! In hysterics. "What did I do to Kid B?! Mommy!!!!"
Oh, AND my girl is also a sympathetic baby. So, every time Kid B cried, she sobbed. This went on for the better part of 3 hours. The urge to knock over the other kid was insurmountable. I wanted to cry. The other parent is used to their kid knocking others over and didn't do/say much. I, on the other hand, am not used to her being knocked over, repeatedly. I'll have to wear gloves, to hide my mommy claws, the next time.
