Dear Carolyn,
We went to the mall today. It started out that we were just going to the post office for stamps. Then I realized I really needed gas. Then, you were sleeping so nicely in the car (you were a little fussy all day and hadn’t napped much) that I thought about taking you somewhere else. So, we went Christmas outfit shopping. I think I found something for you to wear, but I didn’t buy it yet.
Who knew there would be so many logistics? Managing a stroller through a door by yourself isn’t as easy as it looks, and can they put the clothing racks in the stores just a little closer together? But it worked, and I’m sure it will get a little easier to go out alone with you every time I do it.
Love, Mommy
