My little shopper

After dropping off CK at school today (yes, still a few tears), I was planning to just go back home. As soon as we get into the car O says "Mall, mall. Mall Mommy!". I hadn't planned on going to the mall. There are some things I need there, but wanted to wait and go when CK was with us.....she needs jeans. I did have to go home to put away the cinnamon rolls I made this morning. O was so upset driving home. We put away the cinnamon rolls and headed to the mall!

O sees the mall and with a BIG smile on her face says "MALL my side Mommy! MALL!" Yes, we were at the mall at 9am! I figured I could get some things at Target, I know they are open early. We get into Target and O was VERY upset. "NO! Mall!" Okay, so I guess I'm NOT getting anything done at the mall today. We started walking through the mall. So far, the only store open was Borders. She didn't want to go in there. She was having a blast! We walked around and she pointed to everything in the windows and the store signs. She had a GREAT time! That's all she wants to do is walk around and look at everything. It's just the cutest thing! (definitely MY daughter!)

I see Old Navy is open and since one of the things I wanted was some new jeans I thought I would go in. O was VERY upset we went in Old Navy. She really just wanted to walk around the mall. She was fussing a little but then pulled the top down on her stroller and hid inside. She was quiet so I figured I would start looking around and see how far I could get. I found some jeans and headed for the fitting room. O was awfully quiet and when I got to the fitting room I peaked in at her and SHE WAS ASLEEP! Miss I want to go to the mall, was asleep!!!! Why, you may ask, was she asleep at 9:30am!!!! BECAUSE SHE WOKE UP AT 5:30AM!!!!! Crazy child! (that she gets from her Daddy) It's going to be a LONG afternoon!

I took advantage of having once child with me and that one child asleep and tried on jeans. Found two pairs! Yeah! I was even able to go back to Target and look for stuff there. Didn't find what I needed, but was able to walk around and do what I wanted. (I'm LOVING this school thing!)

O ended up sleeping for at least an hour! She woke up as we were leaving Target. We got in the car and it was just about time to pick up CK. O was SO upset that we were not in the mall anymore. I told her we WERE in the mall, she just fell asleep. We made one more stop and then headed over to pick up big sister. Perfect timing! Once we picked up CK, O was better.

It's still going to be a LONG afternoon, but at least I got two pairs of jeans for myself!
