Alex went grocery shopping with me today. We got quite a few looks from the other shoppers and an occasional comment too. You might think that shopping with a 5 year old those looks comments would be negative. Not! The looks were sweet smiles and some awwww's. How nice is that! As we were walking in the door behind a somewhat older lady, Alex piped up and said " I love you mommy!" Of course I replied that I loved him too. She turned around with a big smile and said very nicely that she hopes that he still feels that way when we get older. Somehow, I think he will. We have so much love and respect for each other that I can't imagine age would come between us. Don't get me wrong, I know the teen years will be treacherous, but I think once we pass those years things will smoothen out again.
Alex was just a treat today. He sat in the front part of the shopping carts and said nice things spontaneously the whole trip. He really made me feel very loved and like I must be doing something right. I love getting to spend a little alone time with each child, even if it is grocery shopping. He's my sweet boy!
