Shopping

Shopping with Dean has become quite difficult. I can't imagine what it will be like shopping with 2 kids. Yesterday I took Dean to the grocery store to pick up some milk. Luckily that was the only thing I was planning to get. Dean refuses to go into the shopping cart and knows exactly how to contort his body in a way that there is no way for me to get him in there. I gave up after a couple of minutes and decided I can try to walk holding hands with him. Unfortunately he only wants to go where he wants to go and throws a fit if you try to force him in a different direction. I caught him just in time before he undid the attractive orange pyramid in the store. Then he started yelling for a banana so I got him one, but of course he didn't eat it. I picked him up to bring him to the back of the store to get the milk. When I put him down to get the milk he started crying and screamed whenever someone walked by him like they were going to swoop him up and run off with him. Now I had to pick him up and carry him, his banana, and the gallon of milk to the front of the store and wait in line to pay. I hope he knows that once my belly is bigger there is no way that I can carry him around the stores and hold items.
