Mommy Mishap:

I made a total "mommy mishap" today when I headed out of the house without my stroller in tow. I didn't realize this of course until I was at the mall with Shayden (in his car seat) on my arm and plans to meet Grandma C inside.

Now while this may not seem like a mishap - I mean women do carry their babies around right? - we had just come from our 4 month check up where we confirmed that Shayden has hit the 15lb mark which means his is no light little thing to be swinging around while gallivanting through the mall.

Plan B: I will find a mall stroller and make it work - well it might have been a good idea except this particular mall has now eliminated their complimentary strollers.

Plan C: Macy's - just outside the department store door I spy their shopping carts - score one for the mommy team...now before you get too excited these particular shopping carts are so sleek you cannot possibly set a car seat in them. At this point I have unloaded everything on the floor and am trying everyone possible angle to make it work...no go.

- At this moment a kind sweet young saleswomen, who I am sure has been watching me this whole time, comes over and tries to help. Still no success, she then even more sweetly goes somewhere in their back hallways and finds me an old school shopping cart that she hopes will work for me. It is dirty, wet and has way too many squeaky wheels but if I pull the fabric portion I can make it work.

Revel in my success and laugh at poor Shayden's misfortune!!! You should have seen the looks I got it was awesome!
