I cried inside of Whole Foods the other day.
It wasn’t planned, though is any cry ever planned? But it was needed.
A little back story: Maverick has been cutting his molars on top of the other teeth coming out which in turn are making his gums bleed. We’ve also hit the stage early in toddlerhood where he’s learning right from wrong, also known as the terrible twos (cringe).
