I’m pretty sure that I might be the only mom in the world who actually enjoys grocery shopping with the kids. Don’t get me wrong, it takes a lot longer than shopping alone, and there are the usual requests for the boxes of brightly colored, sugar laden cereals and snacks. But we’ve got a system.
It involves one of those magical inventions: the car cart.
The big girl is still happy to ride, and in the process entertains her sister and can dole out snacks as needed. The little girl loves playing with the steering wheel and squeaky horn. As long as I don’t drag the trip on for too long, it’s great!
Anna and I are going to have to figure out a new plan next week, as I’m not so sure she’ll be happy to ride all alone up front. I guess I’ll go back to the regular kind of cart until she’s old enough to ask for a car!
