Growing pains

Fuller had to put up with a lot today. He went in and out of stores several times and since he is getting so big, he doesn't always get to ride in a cart. So not only did he have to go shopping, he had to stay with Mommy. I tried to involve him by letting him put things in the cart, picking out the ice cream, and grabbing a bunch of bananas from the produce section.

It is a bit overwhelming adjusting my errands to suit the growing boy. As we were leaving the house for the second time today I wondered if I should start planning my weeks to getting all errands done on one day, forcing Fuller to only have to do the "yucky" stuff once a week, or maybe twice a week.

It was a bit stressful for me too, since I can no longer count on keeping Fuller contained, but must keep an eye on the boy and the grocery list. I might forget the eggs, but I can't lose Fuller! (Of course there are stories about Damon ditching his mom in stores, so I think I need to look into the third eye thing some moms have installed on the back of their heads.)

I promised Fuller some fun tomorrow, so maybe we can balance the bad with the good. But it just means my baby is growing up, and out of the grocery cart.
