Shopping...with a baby in tow

First of all, let me set the record straight. I do NOT like to shop for no reason. I like to know exactly what I'm after, get it and get out. So when I go shopping I plan my day and hit the stores in a specific order so that I can maximize time and effort. This has been harder with EK, but still pretty successful. In order to make everything work today (because I had returns, exchanges, etc) I knew I would have a handful at every stop so I borrowed a friends ergo baby carrier (a major want, no need, on my list to Santa). This was the first time using one and it ROCKED MY SOCKS OFF! On the front, happy baby; on the back, happy baby. AND I still had two hands to work with! So the day was going great and the to do list was shrinking fast when out of the blue the worst thing ever occurred. Some how E got a diaper wedgie (IKR?!) and pooped! Freeze! Day can't continue...I can't put her in the ergo, heck I can't even put her in her stroller. Needless to say, thank goodness it was a warm enough day for a diaper and a blanket in the warmth of car window sun. We came home. Only target left on the to do list. Defeated.
Bummed that I would have to return to town again tomorrow, I did what any mommy would do...cleaned my baby, put a load of laundry, and headed back to target. This trip was pretty great! Usually, something gets left off the list but not this time. Sweet girl was content in the Ergo. And the absolute best part was the check out...you heard me...check out! All thanks to a clerk named Patrice. She was so sweet to put the groceries on the conveyor and the bags in the grocery cart. What a super lady! All in all, shopping today wasn't extremely successful but not a bust either. Another great day with my lo. Oh, the pic is her showing off all her awesome bed head!
