I used to think it was a bad idea for me to go to the grocery store on an empty stomach. Everything would look AMAZING and I would end up with a basket full of crap. But this past weekend I learned how much worse it is to take a hungry 20-month-old little boy.
Everything will also look AMAZING to him, but he doesn't just want to put it in the cart, he wants to eat it NOW!! And there will be crying, complaining, screaming and whining until he gets a taste. We only needed to grab a few things, but in those few short minutes he tasted grapes, had fruit snacks, devoured multiple handfuls of crackers, opened a candy, and tried to drink a full gallon of apple juice. We didn't need to have dinner when we got home.
*These last 2 photos are perfect examples of Evan's new CHEESE face. Whenever the camera comes out this is what I get...scrunchy face, closed eyes, pokey chin and a little giggle.
