We decided we needed to get out of the house and enjoy some learning time with Amelia...we went to COSI...along with 32,000 other families.....it was crowded, but fun nonetheless.
We got there right at lunch time and knew we had to eat...and quickly...so that we had as much time in the center as possible. Well, we made it through lunch...Amelia ate some rice with vegetables and drank some milk. When we were all done eating and trying to clean up Amelia hopped out of her chair, took her milk (which was in a small carton like you get at elementary school) and proceeded to walk away. Tyler got nervous that she was walking right into the path of where other people were eating and came at her from one side, I came at her from behind and we both tried to redirect her...apparently all we succeeded in doing was scaring the crap out of her. She raised her hand up which was holding her milk as Tyler tried to lead her around the other people...and Amelia squeezed her milk carton — showering her from head to toe with milk....she was soaked!!! She screamed (I think because it was so cold) and just ran....I caught her and held her until she stopped crying.
We took her into the family restroom and cleaned her off as best we could (I washed her hair in the sink!) and tried making light of the situation...she was still VERY mad at us!
Thankfully the place was filled with nothing but families so noone really thought much of our situation even though we were definitely the center of attention for a good 5 minutes.
With all said and done, we still had a great visit at COSI. Amelia had a blast in the Sesame Street exhibit where you can learn all about the human body....and mash buttons and see flashing lights.
