Shopping at Target

Today, Brayden and I ventured out for a shopping trip to Target...or as I like to call it, "Tar-jei," and for the first time, I pulled out our cute little shopping cart cover. This, I may say, is one of the most wonderful inventions! No longer are babies gumming those wonderful handles that contain many oh-so-lovely germs from the thousands of previous customers who stop in and push these carts from aisle to aisle.

Brayden did great sitting up and was quite intrigued being able to look around at will at the many new and fascinating things all around the store. HOWEVER, he did lose a sock! This, fortunately, has not happened before, which as fellow-parents tell me is quite a miracle that I had yet to experience it. I was over looking through the Valentines cards, and I realized that he was now short one rather cute sock. I was so bummed, because I really liked those socks, so I thought, "I think I'd be able to re-trace my steps (even though I'd been ALL OVER the store)!" I was determined not to give up on my missing sock. So, I began my quest...(go with me here, those of you who know the layout of Target)...I began at the cards, headed through men's clothing, by the check-out lanes, in-and-out of women's clothing, out by housewares, back into women's clothing by the dressing rooms...and voila! Sitting in between the racks of women's clearance clothing was his cute little red and white baseball sock! YEAH!!!

So our shopping trip was full of adventure today - a new seat-cover and view of the store for Brayden as well as a fun scavenger hunt for myself. Oh the joys...it's the little things to get excited about!
