Mall Madness

So, I am renewing my vow to never ever take my children to any mall again. I said it once before when Mckenna was 2 and I was 8 months pregnant. She ran off and I waddled after her while everyone watched. I finally caught up to her and had to carry her back kicking and screaming. Don't ask why I didn't have a stroller. This weekend, we went to the mall for eye exams. Mikey refuses to ride in a stroller without causing a scene. He wants to push the stroller. I made the mistake of letting him. He's like a tiny tornado. He ditches the stroller and runs from store to store yelling " I want one of those and those and those etc. I finally bribed him with an ice cream cone and tricked him into sitting down long enough for me to strap him down. He then says " Mamma, I nice boy. Tell Santa bring 4 wheeler, okay." He is pretty smart for a 2 year old. I have to say that Mckenna behaved very well.
