Nearly out of Milk and "Bums", Declan and I headed to the grocery store this morning before I would be on my way to work. We had a short list of things to grab but about an hour to get it done. We get to the grocery store and Declan is immediately excited, running ahead but falling back each time I called to him. He helped me find toothpaste and Advil (yes I get headaches) and then he found the box of "bums". Just a couple steps further (because they strategically place toys need baby/toddler needs) he yells "TOYS!" and makes his way to them. Declan is really good with toys at the store. He looks them over, tests some buttons, talks about how much he likes different ones. Now and then he will ask for one but I told him "Not today Declan. Mommy doesn't have money for toys today" and his response is "oh. Ok."
That's it.
No tears. No arguing with me. He might spend a couple more minutes looking the toy over but he moves on when I ask. We had a good time. Then after looking at toys he says "Ok. Let's get milk now." And just like that we headed to the milk isle. He helped me pick cat food, bananas and bread. We managed to get it all and make it back home in time for me to get off to work for 1pm. He was a great helpful and I just loved my morning with him.
