This is the best reactionary piece to the Carpe Diem piece that I've seen.

Yes, we're enjoying it...now let's move on.

Love it!

This is a wonderful post. I sometimes feel like I should wear a sign that says "I know my child is precious. I look at her every day!!"

Two stories about grocery stores if I may... When Miss B was 3 months old, I thought it would be really cute to take her to do groceries at Christmas time with a Santa hat on. Mistake. I was stopped by three strangers commenting on how adorable she was before even hitting the produce! 20 minutes later, I didn't have a single item in my cart. The hat came off and stayed off.

Last Saturday, I took Miss B grocery shopping. I was sick, tired and just needed to get my stuff and go. One lady kept talking to me. I would bump into her in every aisle and every time, she started up again. Of course, Miss B was starting to get antsy and was making a fuss. When I said "well, I best be going. My little one is growing impatient". She smiled at me and said "She hardly sounds like a handful". My reply "right now, she's tame. Give her one more minute and people in aisle 10 will know she's here. Enjoy your day."

You know what gets me???? When I was single and childless, no one stopped me in the grocery store to tell me how pretty I am. Why do they feel the need to do it with my little girl????

Before any outing with the girls, I have to psyche myself up and remind myself to be exhibit grace and love with kind random strangers who stop to chat

Thanks for the laugh this morning, dollimama! I hear ya!

As a general rule, I don't mind people talking to me, oogling over my adorable kids, telling me how lucky I am (I agree!). But it does prolong a trip sometimes...and occasionally, my "adorable kids" can get a little fidget-y from a too-long trip, which makes them slightly-less-than-adorable. Hahaha!
