A trip to the Zoo cut short

We went to the Zoo today.  It started out as both kids having a good time.  James was being a little hyper and not wanting to listen to Mommy.  (pulling on Jessica's shirt, trying to pull away from me, trying to run off.)  Other then that things were going well.  We stopped at the sand box after having some lunch.  James was throwing sand on the other kids in the sand box.  I took him aside and told him that if he didn't stop throwing sand we would not play in the sand anymore.  He still threw more sand.  I took him out to give him a time out.  He stayed out.  I let him back in and he right away started to throw the sand again.  I then pulled him out again and tried to leave the area.  He was throwing a temper tantrum.  I tried to divert him back into seeing other animals and the tantrum continued.  I then proceeded to walk him to the gates to leave.  He punched me with his free hand, tried to bite me, kick me.  All the way screaming at me.  Got him to the car and I could not buckle him with his arms and legs trying to kick and hit me in the face.  It took 20 min in the car to calm him down.  Once we got home he wanted milk and fell asleep for an almost 2 hours.  He hasn't had a nap in almost a month. 

Jessica did a lot better today.  She had more happy hours today then she has in a while.  She handled James with kindness and love.  She would point out where the animals were hidden.  It was like having my little girl back.
