We ventured to Jordan Creek Mall today. Here is the conversation I always have with myself when it comes to mall trips:
Should I bring the stroller?
Yes, the kids can ride in it and you can hold your bags in the compartment below.
Who are you kidding? The kids will ride in it for 30 seconds, fight over who gets to push the damn thing, and you'll spend half the trip looking for an elevator and the other half of the trip waiting for the elevator.
That 30 seconds they do ride in it could be pure bliss...
I chose against the stroller today and the trip went pretty well until it was time to go. We were leaving Dillard's with some jeans we bought for Eric that will likely be returned. It was getting close to nap time and Sam was moving at a snail's pace. He doesn't like to be carried at convenient times any more so I didn't attempt to pick him up and have World War III break loose. While I was corralling him towards the door a little old granny stopped me and told me she wished she could just pick him up and kiss his cheeks. Her baby boy is all grown up in Denver, Colorado now. Sometimes I need reminders like that...
I made sure to kiss those adorable cheeks.
