This evening I took my son to the pumpkin patch at a church down the street to pick ou t a pumpkin, well we ended up comming home with 3 but that isn't my point.

After I told him we could not get the $80 pumpkin and instead he can have one medium sized one and two small ones he FREAKED OUT and threw himself on the floor threw the little pumpkin and started kicking and stomping his feet!! I wanted to die of embarassment. I finally got him to stop paid for the pumpkins and left.

I probably shouldn't have bought them at all but I was so embarassed and I didn't want to make it worse. He is 4 years old

What would you have done? I wanted to scream but I kept my cool untill we got in the car and now I am so pissed I won't even look at him. We've had a bad week with behavior.. Can anyone recommend some Alternitive punishments?
