My Shoping Trip with Mathias.

Very rarely do I get to do things like this and today I actually didn't want to take any of the kids, I just wanted to leave the screaming craziness of our day behind for a little while. But knowing my husband wouldn't get a break I decided to take the most complicated of our twins, Mathias, AKA Goo, AKA trouble maker. I took him grocery shopping with me.

We headed to the door me repeating bye bye to him and we headed for the van. When I loaded Mathias in the van he seemed excited to get to sit in big brothers car seat, a glow in his eyes.
That glow got even brighter as I closed the van door and hopped in. He looked around realizing it was just going to be him this time. He started chattering in his own language. We got to the store and I saw the spring flowers out on display, Mathias and I took a look at them carefully inspecting them. He violently ripped the head off one of the flowers, I quickly corrected him and said " oh no we have to be easy, see just like this", gently touching the flowers to show him how to touch them. We looked at each different flower, him repeating flower, oww flower over and over again as we looked at them. Next into Winco straight to the produce section where I browsed the fruits deciding what this weeks selection would be for us. I went along showing Mathias each fruit and talking about it with him. He thought the nectarine was an apple and repeated it alot, despite me correcting him. Then off to get bananas... Goo chatter bananas and apples, bananas and apples. Then we passed oranges, Mathias excitedly exclaimed ball and proceeded to throw the orange on the ground. As we made our way through the store and looked at stuff, Mathias decided to get comfortable and kicked off his shoes, a lady came buy and picked them up handing them to Mathias. As she walked away Mathias threw them in her direction and laughed, I tried my best to correct him but couldn't help but to laugh at how silly he was. We talked all the way through the store about stuff and he just seemed to bloom, his face glowing the hole time. He rewarded me by often coming close to hug me or puckering his lips to kiss me. This made my heart fly... he even held my hand at one point. Amazing how something you dread so much can become actually a very pleasant experience. I'm glad I took him. Maybe trips like this will have to happen more often.
