Customer in Training
Posted by Ida , Tuesday, June 8, 2010
This morning Mommy, William and Madelyn went to Tops (previously Quality) to do some light shopping. William usually sits in the car that is attached to the front of the cart. They were no where to be found today. They did have a small red cart with a pole attached to a flag that read: Customer in Training. How cute!? William LOVED it. He put all the groceries in his cart and even picked out a couple items himself. Madelyn didn't want to be in Mommy's cart any longer so she was carried on Mommy's hip. She enjoyed seeing what was going on. All was well until...William took a turn too sharply and the cart tipped over. He immediately started crying. Mommy was trying to pick it up while holding Madelyn. A nice man came to help out. William was weary for a while after. The senior citizens in the store (stay at home moms and senior citizens are about all you can find in a grocery store at 11 AM) were all very helpful. At least they tried to be. William looked at them like they had an extra eye or something. Finally, Mommy offered William a special ice cream treat so they could get moving and out of there. William continued to be super cute. When Mommy told him to pick out the cheese he said, "I like cheese." And the tortilla chips, "I love chips." He unpacked his cart onto the check out belt by himself and the cashier put a couple bags in his cart. How fun! Hopefully the cart is there next time or there may be one angry customer in training.
Later in the day Mommy, William and Madelyn went for a wake to meet Katie and Safina. They got across Wherle and Madelyn began to cry. Mommy took her out of the stroller and was carrying her and pushing William. They saw Katie and Safina down the street and they heard Madelyn. Once they met up they rushed back to the house, Madelyn crying the whole way. Mommy's neck and shoulders were so tense when they finally got back. Mommy thought she may have been hungry, but that wasn't it. She cheered up once they were back home.
Safina and William played in the front yard. They played frisbee and baseball (the 2 year old versions). Then they started chasing each other around the yard. They have such fun together!
After William and Madelyn were in bed Mommy and Daddy worked on staining the trellis again. Busy, busy.
