Hope loves shopping. Anywhere, Anytime, with pretty much Anyone. She is always game. Whenever I say I'm going shopping, Hope immediately asks to come with me. I rarely say "no" because it is such a great Mommy/Daughter time. A few weeks ago we went shopping with my Mom for a Mother of the Groom dress for my Mom. Hope still talks about it and has been asking almost daily when she can go shopping with Mommy and Grandma again. Good thing Grandma didn't find a dress (and Mommy hasn't either!) so we have another shopping date set up in a couple of weeks. She asked me the other day, "Mommy, when the long hand is at the 5 and the long hand is at the 1, then can I got shopping with Mommy and Grandma again?"
Last night I took her to Kohls with me. She was a riot! She sat in the stroller and sang the whole time. Picture her arms up in the air, waving them back and forth, and singing "Shopping! At the Grocery Store!" (from Boz) - she's hilarious! When she wasn't singing, she was saying "Hi" to anyone that she saw. If they didn't say "Hi" back, she would immediately turn around and say with a frown on her face, "Mommy! They didn't say hi to me!" We were trying to find work shoes for Daddy. I found a pair that I wasn't totally sold on but I thought that maybe they would work. I showed them to Hope and asked her if she thought Daddy would like them. She said, "No. I think he will say No Thank You!" An honest shopper - I love it! (I didn't buy the shoes - I went with another pair that she told me Daddy would like.)
I told her, "Hopey, thanks for shopping with me! I like having a shopping buddy!" She replied back, "And I love having a shopping Mommy!" Daryl may not appreciate it . . . but at least Hope does!! ;)
