Megan and I needed to run some errands on Thursday night and it was the best trip I've ever had with her. Some time ago I learned the best way to shop Kwik Trip with her. I get a basket and she gets a basket. The bread and bananas go in hers her and I get the milk, eggs, and butter since they're heavier and breakable. She followed me through the store and then handed the cashier her items when it was time to pay. As I carried the bags out of the store she even turned to the lady to wave and say "bye".
Next, we had to go to Mackenthun's to get groceries. She held my hand as we walked through the parking lot into the store where she then could pick out her car to sit in. She sat in the car the entire time I shopped. She spun the wheel and jabbered and had the best time. She only got out once when I stopped to get bacon - she thought we needed more hot dogs and ring bologna.
Around the house she continues to love "washing" dishes. But lately I have also had her help me wipe up spills from the floor and help wipe off the counters as well as helping to set the table. I think I will start her on dusting soon :) along with helping us pick up her toys.
It's also been a big help having lots of new toys around since there are so many more options of things to play with. It nice that she is finally able to entertain herself. Our little girl is growing up. We've also found that we need to remember to communicate to her like an adult and tell her where we're going and what we're doing all the time. Sometimes she gets concerned when Mama doesn't go out to the car right away when we're leaving the house or if Daddy has to go to the bathroom.
Here is a picture of Megan dressed up in her princess clothes. She feels so pretty!
