This morning I took Ajax with me to the mall to return a few things giving Dave some quiet time as he’s a bit under the weather. We returned our items without issue and then we scooted off to the mall play area. Ajax played well, climbing over the obstacles and running around, but then I could tell that he was getting tired and going down hill fast. When Ajax gets tired, his bullying side comes out, and the mall play area was no different. After a few head bonks, I scooped him up and we headed home for a nap. He of course didn’t want to leave and I had to wrestle him into his coat, but I won.
After nap and lunch we ran to Office Depot. Ajax loves Office Depot for some reason and had to try out all the chairs and point out all the pens we passed. He made a few random runs down aisles, forcing me to chase after him to the point where I had to put him back into the chart so that we could check out. He became so mad at being confined to the cart that he began screaming and tossing himself about. He got so mad that he actually hit his head against the side of the cart, making me think I need to invest in a helmet for my son. While I paid, Dave ended up taking Ajax to the car so that the other patrons didn’t have to hear his yelling.
Our afternoon was quiet, Dave and Ajax stayed home while I went grocery shopping and then we had a nice dinner. Ajax decided that he would eat every other pea, throwing one on the ground in between. After dinner he then decided that the floor peas were worth eating and sat under his high chair eating them. Great.
I think we’re heading into definite Two territory which is difficult for the us and the little guy as this is a frustrating time for him as well.

Also, I wanted to show you that you can use coupons to save on more than just food and tooth paste! Office Depot is offering a rebate on HP paper. So I bought two reams of HP paper, totaling $15.58, after coupons I paid $11.40 and will submit the receipt to get a full rebate! Ta da, free paper.
