On Saturday, we went to the outlets to get the kids some new clothes. Just the two of us (no boys). Gillian immediately went in the store and started looking at clothes. She argued with me "No. I like this one." She insisted on getting a pink dress. I told her no. "But it's pink! And it's pretty. I like it." I said no again and again. We left the store without the dress. But today she said to me "How come we didn't get the dress?"
Our next stop on Saturday was Costco. My kids love Coatco. They love the free samples, holding my membership card and going in the walk-in fridges. I hate the free samples and avoid them like the plague. The whole time I have Gillian saying "I really want to eat." "Can I have that?" Finally she got a yogurt and was super happy. She spent the rest of the trip telling me silly stories and singing songs.
We also went food shopping. She sat in the cart and would try to scare me. She would say "Raaahh!" I would pretend to be scared and she would laugh and laugh. Many of our fellow shoppers thought this was hysterical. Can't blame them. It was pretty funny. About halfway thru the store, she asked "Can I walk?" I let her walk and she pushed the cart. She had a hard time, because she couldn't see where she was going. I forgot something in the baking aisle so I challenged her to a race. She was fast! She ran all the way to the end of the aisle and back again.
She was exhausted. I hate food shopping and I am thankful for Gillian making this chore enjoyable
