My kids are great shoppers. They really like going to do errands with me and John. Maybe they are extremely bored in the house, but they are forever bringing me their shoes and socks or coats and tying to get me to put them on so that we can go "in the van somewhere". Lately when I tell Wyatt that we are going grocery shopping, he makes a list. He gets out some paper and a pen and asks me about different things that should be on his list...
Wyatt: "Mommy do we need bananas?"
Me: "Yes"
Wyatt: Scribbles little tiny circles and dots on his paper. "Ok, I wrote it."
Wyatt: "Mommy, do we need cheese?" etc. etc. etc.
This can go on for 15 minutes or so. When we get to the store, he waits until we get stuff from his "list" and then crosses out his little tiny dots and circles. It is really funny to watch. It almost seems like he really has words written down on his paper! The funny thing is that sometimes Wyatt remembers to write stuff down on his "list" that I forgot we need like batteries or lightbulbs (you know the technical gadgety things). It's nice having an extra set of eyes on things when you are grocery shopping...I can use all the help that I can get!
