*sigh* It’s nearly impossible to get all three kids looking at the camera at the same time and smiling. 2 out of 3 isn’t bad though, is it?
Sweet Savvy….
For your amusement, an incident at the grocery store yesterday.
I was at the grocery store on Friday with the three kiddies. Mary is walking beside me, Savvy is in the front of the cart and Nathan is in the large part of the cart where you put the groceries. The children are all sitting/walking quietly and doing what they were supposed to do.
We were in the produce section choosing tangelos when this nice lady approaches us and starts to speak to Nathan.
(A moment before I had told him to stand up in the cart but to hold onto the sides b/c I had just put bananas and apples in the cart so I didn’t want him to crush them)
Lady speaking to Nathan: You need to sit down! That’s very dangerous!
(Nathan is looking confused b/c I just told him to stand up and now some stranger is giving him the opposite instructions)
Me: No, really he’s fine. I just told him to stand up. (smile!)
Lady to me: No he’s not! That’s very dangerous! He needs to sit down!
Then she turns to Nathan and says “That’s very dangerous! You need to sit down right now!”
…. Now, usually when this stuff happens I’m to flabbergasted to even know what to say and I get all flustured and just walk away. But today, well, I don’t know what came over me but I had the right words all of a sudden!
ME to Lady: NO, he doesn’t need to sit down. What he needs to do is mind his mommy and I just told him to stand. (I smiled while I said it and tried to be pleasant but firm).
She looked surprised and just turned away. I don’t she was trying to be mean, just old-lady nosy-ish. 
Honestly though, the NERVE to argue with me and to then to continue to correct and direct my son while I’m standing right there giving him opposite directions!
