Shopping 5-Days Before Christmas, and the Kindness of One Family to Mine.

I picked up my little man (3) from daycare at 6pm and headed out to the local mall to pick out Christmas gifts for daddy and the dog.

Maybe I’m crazy, but I really wanted him to pick his own gifts, not me just putting his name on something.

So the mall is busy to say the least. Lines are long, people are pushy and it’s hot because I couldn’t carry our coats too. Not the end of the world of course, but you know what it’s like trying to shop 5 days before Christmas with a three-year old right? It’s a battle, little man just wants to pick out tractors for himself and won’t wait in line. He keeps taking off when I let go of his hand to get out my wallet and when I chase him I lose my spot in the line. Who doesn’t let this…
