I need words for Silent Sunday this week, this photo was taken yesterday, would you believe just five minutes before this we experienced a mammoth toddler tantrum, the first really really big one outside the home?
Hmm, let’s see, I look a little flushed from the embarrassment and Mr B is keeping a close eye on the situation, but Joss, like nothing had happened, “nothing to see here folks! Just a baby enjoying icecream…”
You know that saying, my child is not giving me a hard time, my child is having a hard time? Yeah, that! Except Joss wasn’t having a hard time anymore and had a bear wafer.
I think we handled it well anyway, if a bit embarrassed it was over before it started and we all had some ice cream to cool off!
I feel your pain here – I sweated like hell the first time Lucas pulled a major tantrum in public. I actually felt like crying. Great photo and it sounds like you handled it amazingly

It’s funny how they revert back to being normal human beings after having the mother of all meltdowns! Mr B definitely has his eye on Joss who is looking just adorable. POD has had some dreadful meltdowns, the last one in Monsoon! Thank you so much for sharing with #whatsthestory (and sorry for missing you yesterday, was in London all day)
My 4yo used to have the most spectacular tantrums. I found that just completely ignoring him (while keeping an eye on him obviously) was the least embarrassing way to deal with it… but you really do just want the ground to swallow you up! Love this photo – it’s so true, they always look like nothing happened, and the parents look wary and frazzled
