Moo Cows and sunglasses

I had to take Julia to the dr.'s with me on Tuesday morning. So then she had to go to the grocery store with me so I could get my prescription filled. Since it was going to take about 20 minutes and the store was pretty empty, I just let her run around the store where she wanted to go (with me following right behind, of course). She thought it was really neat that she did not have to ride in a cart and SHE got to decide where to go next. She had a lot of fun.

She walked over to the Christmas clearance and they had a bunch of Elmo Live dolls. Julia had to make sure everyone worked (she got an Elmo Live for Christmas, so she knew how they worked).

At one point she ended up in the dairy section and suddenly realized that there is a huge mural of cows in a pasture above the dairy cases. How she never noticed this before is beyond me. But she was just memorized by this mural. She would just stand there, looking up at it saying "Moo cows, mommy, moo cows!". She would go down another aisle, but would come right back to look at the moo cows. That mural just fascinated her. I think maybe because it was just so big.

We walked back to the pharmacy since it was about time to pick up my prescription. On the way there, Julia found a rack of kid sunglasses. Julia LOVES sunglasses. She wears them all the time around the house! Since she was so good at the dr. office and waiting for the prescription, I let her pick out a pair. I did steer her to the ones with rose colored lens, since it is easier for her to see out of those in the house.

I think Julia had a great morning hanging out with mommy. She got to run around a store and got a new pair of sunglasses!! She got to daycare just in time for lunch too!! She did get upset that the sunglasses had to stay in the van though....
