amazing...truly amazing!

Today Max and I headed to Traders Joe's...and a dream came true.

He used the little "Customer in Training" shopping cart, and it was awesome! I have always enjoyed seeing kiddos with their carts and was so excited thinking of Max using one someday...it was worth the wait! Oh my goodness...I was smiling, I was crying, I was filled with joy and pride.

Check it out...I guarantee a smile!

This just made my day. What a big boy you are. YEAH!!!! Thanks Amy for sharing these wonderful days with us. You deserve Mother of the Year award!!

Mary said...

I agree with Crystal - Maxwell will decide that what goes in the cart can "fall" out of the cart. LOL

WOW! Amy, that is amazing. Max is doing so wonderful. Enjoy this moment and scrap some great stuff. You are the proudest mom in the world right now and you have every right to be.

Oh my! What a great learning opportunity. He can steer that cart very well. He's so adorable Amy. I bet you were overcome with joy.
Love and hugs,

AMY!!!!! MAX!!!!!!
WOW WOW WOW!!!!
That made me smile, laugh and cry... all at the same time!
Like Crystal, I was waiting for a little mischief! Maybe pulling stuff off the shelf?! You don't want him to, yet at the same time, you'll be thrilled that he does it because he can!!!

I just read back several days and saw the post on the 8th about walking back and forth from the TV to you while watching "Signing Time." What a difference (less than) a week makes, my friend! :-)

Woo Hoo, you two! :-)

Big hugs to you friends,
Kristi
Oh... and love your mommy OT session! We are all about that kind of stuff around here! :-)

Christy said...

Yahoo!!! Go Max go! I like the fancy foot work near the end. Trying all kinds of tricks. He's a natural.

Eva and her 'rents said...

I love Trader Joe's and their little carts! Eva tends to keep her head down when she drives. It makes me so nervous when she veers toward towers of wine bottles!

You rock, Max!
