Walmart Tantrum

This evening I took the baby to WalMart for a few things, while Shane stayed behind and did his chores. Mason stuck close to the car for the beginning. We went and picked up a few groceries and looked at the toys but Mason began to turn sulky as I stocked up on jars of baby food and pampers. When we rounded the corner I asked if he wanted to pick out a new baby toy and he began to get an attitude. Without warning, I removed the paci form my purse and clipped it onto his shirt, I told him if he kept it up, I would put it in his mouth for everyone to see. This kept him behaved until we got to the check out and I wanted him to Without saying a word, I popped Mason's pacifier into his mouth. I expected him to protest but instead, Mason stood, pouting and sucking on his pacifier while the lady behind us watched him. I took Mason by the arm and pulled him closer to me and Mason started to throw a tantrum. I held him by the arm and pulled down his pants and spanked him on the diapered butt, right there in the line with the lady behind us and the clerk watching. Mason cried and carried on while the lady scanned our groceries. I fastened Mason into his car seat and by that time he had stopped crying a bit. I didn't say anything as I loaded the groceries into the car and drove home. When we got home, I took Mason out of his car seat and lead him inside by the arm. to the couch where I pulled him over my knee and pulled his diaper down and gave him a sever spanking and lectured him about his behaviour. I then had him stand in the corner, his pacifier in his mouth, bare bum facing outwards for fifteen minutes before I diapered him and placed him in his crib with a bottle. He was in bed by 7 o'clock :)
