Children have a way of keeping you humble in ways that are totally unexpected. Since Will gets off work at 3:30 p.m., I have been waiting til he gets home to get groceries. It is just easier with his extra hands as well as his input in what we get. Well, we are calmly wandering up and down the aisles getting the necessary items, Elisabeth is walking along with us and Max is snuggled in the Baby Bjorn. We head down the toilet paper/paper goods aisle and I turn to see where Elisabeth is, as I like to keep her close by. To my utter surprise, she standing in the middle of the aisle with her jeans and panties down around her ankles scratching her bottom. HELLO?!?! It took me a moment to realize what she was doing ... then I quickly knelt down in front of her and pulled up her clothing while Max is swinging between us. I, indcredulously, ask why she had her pants down and she calmly says that she is scratching her itchies. Trying really hard not to bust out laughing, I inform her that pulling her pants and panties down in public was unacceptable behavior while Will is trying struggling to pull his new camera phone from his pocket before I get her clothing back where they should be. (Typical man - LOL)
Needless to say, Will and I are still laughing about our darling daughter baring all in the paper goods aisle at our Neighborhood Walmart grocery store.
