I did it!
posted October 1st, 2006 by Shannon
Big accomplishment tonight! After dropping my sister off at the airport tonight, I missed my exit off the highway and had to take the next one. Taking that alternate route I passed right by a Barnes & Noble bookstore. On a whim I decided to stop. There’s a new book I’ve been wanting to flip through and I just hadn’t found a way to get to the bookstore yet.
So I did it! I managed a trip to a STORE by myself with all three kids. I have taken all 3 kids on walks by myself. I took all the 3 kids to a playgroup last week. I picked my sister up from the airport with all 3 kids on Friday. But this was the first time I’ve been brave enough to tackle a retail situation. Of course, it helped that B&N has a kid’s section and that kid section had a train set for Nathan and stuffed unicorns and a fairy tale book for Emily to play with while I looked at my book one aisle over. It’s a big milestone for me.

Yay! I am SO proud of you! Awesome job! You go girl!
I am glad you have that “first trip” behind you! I am proud of you too! I don’t remember my “first trip” out with you, Britney and Laura but I definitely remember you often announcing with excitement as a preschooler, “I did it all my by-self!” Once again, it sounds like you surprised yourself with accomplishing a big task you were nervous about.
That’s my daughter! Isn’t she great! We had a wonderful weekend visiting with all of you! Your family is so precious!
Much better than my friends first trip out with her 16 month old and 4 day old twins. She had a wreck! Everyone is ok, but very stressful.
Barnes & Noble is one of the only places I’m brave enough to go with my two! Good pick for your first outing! Jack just loves the train, too!
