I can’t decide if I’m proud or ashamed that I haven’t actually gone to a grocery store to shop since my son was born...16 months ago. Shortly before he was born I started ordering them online and picking them up at Walmart.
Today was the first time I attempted a full grocery shop with him, by myself. He’s very easy going so I really wasn’t worried about it. He loves to be in public, and is a really happy baby. I was totally unsurprised that the trip went really well! He sat in the cart and yelled out all the foods he saw and said “brrrrrrrr” when we would go quickly down the aisle. He laughed and smiled and had a great time. It wasnt really until I got home that I realized I had almost none of the things I needed to make any meals. Sure there were fruits and crackers and some applesauce, but literally nothing that I had on my list for dinners. So here I am after an hour and a half grocery shopping trip this morning, eating cereal for dinner.

Sounds like your little guy had a great time but I hate it when that happens. But sometimes cereal for dinner isn't so bad?!

I love it! Think of it as an outing and an event rather than grocery shopping. Sounds like you both had fun. At least you had cereal--a perfectly respectable dinner!

Sounds like your trip turned out to be a memorable moment for you and your lil one! And who doesn't love cereal for dinner anyways?

Oh a trip to the grocery could go either way. Sounds like it went well, minus the not getting everything on your list. We often do grocery pick up as well, but when we go to the store, Cara has so much fun adding items from out list to the cart. Now, she even wants to hold the list and cross things off, which takes a little more time and patience. Cheers to cereal for breakfast!

Cereal for dinner every now and then is just fine! Now you know shopping with your baby can be an enjoyable experience. :)
