Em and I went to Costco today. She seems to love everything about going to Costco

• Getting out of the house

• Seeing all new faces

• Waving at the passersby

• Filing through each row and celebrating anything that gets plucked off the shelf and placed in our cart

• Anticipating what sample might be at the end of each aisle

• Revisiting the favored samples

• Being in the cart when it gets passed behind the check stand so that we’re a little distance apart

- she plays a cheerful peek-a-boo with me, then acts like we’ve been reunited after our items have been paid for.

• And now I know she even loves the over sized boxes that they pack your groceries in.

This one became her new favorite toy today as she pushed it around the house, then started adding her favorites items to it and pushing it some more.

When I left the freezer open and unattended for a moment, I turned around to see her grocery shopping off the bottom shelves and putting her selected items into the box.

Lastly she crawled into the box with everything inside and snuggled with her blanket. So precious.

Hooray for Costco!
