Sit down

We had a busy morning of errands. Our first stop was Lowes. John and Gillian love going to Lowes. John loves to drive the race car and Gillian is a great co-pilot. Check out the picture of my silly drivers below. Our next stop was a fish store and Staples. Gillian and I got stopped in the parking lot by a lady that declared herself to be a "wanna be grandmother." Gillian was very quiet (even at 18 months she knows not to talk to strangers). I got stuck making small talk with the lady but I was happy that we could make her day a little brighter. Our next stop was to Target, we had a few random things to pick up and ended up running into Dr Yee (the kids pediatrician) in the toy section. The kids were a little shocked to see her outside the doctors office. Gillian kept watching her as we talked. Dr Yee suggested that it was because Gillian remembered that she gave Gilly a shot during her last exam. Our last errand of the day was Costco. The kids love Costco mainly because they can sit next to each other in the shopping cart. Also because of the free samples. I personally hate the free samples and try to avoid that area of the store. Lucky for me, we got there just as the samples were being set up. We finally finished our errands and Gillian fell asleep on the car ride home.

After nap time, Gillian got all of her babies out. She started playing with them on the couch. Then all of a sudden she went running across the basement to the staircase. She put one baby down on the bottom step and said "sit down!" She walked back to the couch and got another baby. She put that baby next to the first one saying "sit down!" She walked away and played with some other toys. She put her babies in time out!

Before bed tonight, the kids read a few books together. So sweet.
