Shopping with Maks is always an adventure. You just never know exactly what he's going to do. Every now and then we'll make a trip down to the boardwalk and visit the shops. Maks likes stopping at the water fountain, watching the water features spray into the air and exploring the pond. He could watch the water rush under the bridge for hours. Luckily, he does almost as well when we take him in stores.
Isn't this what everyone's 1 year old does in a Banana Republic dressing room?
Cleaning is one of his favorits past times...and I'm ok with that.
"It's time to tidy up this place!"
And then there's the mall. We usually bring his stroller along, but only for entertainment purposes. Maks will push the stroller up and down main aisles, which helps us make sure he's not getting into any other sort of trouble. But, there are often times when our stroller tactics fail and we're left with a shopping experience that looks something like this:
As of late, Maks is loving the grocery store. We go first thing on Sunday mornings. It's the perfect time for us because it's relatively empty. We can get in and get what we need without long lines. Plus, it allows us to really let Maks get on the floor and do his own thing. He just loves pushing his own cart and grabbing produce to place in the basket! (Although these two shopping expeditions are 2 months apart, he's obviously wearing the same fox pants. Yeah, he's a foxy baby.)
He has always been a big fan of acorn squash!
And he can never have too much kiwi!
(Gentle release of items into the cart is still a work in progress.)
