We went grocery shopping today. :) Kyra is SUCH a good grocery shopper. I've always heard women complain about how much harder it gets to go grocery shopping all of a sudden when you have that first baby so I did not anticipate it to be so easy! She rides in her wrap carrier, one of the mei-tais or in her Ergo and she talks to me and watches things and people. She NEVER fusses and once in a while she even steals a nap. She spends lots of time looking for Phil because she knows that we usually see him at Wal-Mart and gets very excited when she does find him! I always see lots of people who are trying to carry their infants and toddlers while shopping (or worse, infants in bucket seats!), chasing their toddlers through the store, trying to soothe screaming babies and toddlers in the cart or struggling to get the groceries in around their HUGE infant bucket carseats without waking the little one inside. It just looks like so much extra stress and WORK! They always look like their backs hurt and their nerves are worn. They all need to know about babywearing! I always wish they'd notice my little Kyra and ask about her carrier and if it's hard to use, but she's so quiet, she hardly ever gets any attention at all beyond the cashiers commenting on how cute she is and what a good baby. If only they knew that without that lovely carrier she's be just another screaming infant!
