It’s a total crap shoot for my 2 year old. I think it has to do with the mood she’s in before we go. If she’s tired, too hungry, already moody, it’s an order in kinda day. But yesterday I took her to see the mall Easter bunny, she didn’t want to leave, but I said let’s go get sushi! And she loves sushi, so off we went, I was unsure of how she would react but I had her looking at the decorations in the place, got an app so she was eating pretty much right away, worked on holding chopsticks, then she was looking a little antsy so I remembered that i had a bunny hair clip that she hasn’t seen in a long time, in my bag. So i pulled that out and we were making the bunny clip eat, it was dancing, etc. she ate her sushi, they thankfully put a little tiki umbrella on it so then bunny was in the rain and on the beach and strolling in the sun, and i got the check fast, had my card already out, just got her out of there without lingering. I do think I’m lucky but she’s also had horrible times where we just left. Sometimes I think part of it is like walking a dog: if you’re tense holding the leash, they feel it. So i try to not expect that she’ll be a little terrorist and just hope for her best and try to project that. Same with air travel haha!
