I have no clue why, but our kids love going grocery shopping and for some reason they ratchet their good behavior to 10 the moment we set foot in a grocery store. They now have a handful of “friends” that work at our usual store and they go and say hi to each one if they are working. Big key for us is we usually go at 7:30 AM, so the store is dead quiet. However, whenever we go at more “normal” grocery shopping times I am reminded how brutal it can be. They also love Costco, so I just got back from a Costco run on the Sunday before back to school with a 3 year old and honestly he was not a hinderance at all and was even fairly helpful a few times in telling me lunch items he wanted this week. I never would have guessed this would be something I’d be saying prior to kids…haha.
