Every single time I have tried to take Grace to the store (any store) things have started off well. Baby sleeping in her car seat.
After a little while, this is what happens...
Baby is upset, but can be calmed down.
I get a few minutes of this stage, but inevitably it goes from bad to this...
Full out, red in the face, inconsolable screaming.
Every. Single. Time.
It doesn't bother me so much. She is a baby. She is just tired or hungry. But I do worry about bothering the people around us.
(let it be known I'm not a horrible mother, as soon as she starts to get upset I try to get her home and taken care of, but sometimes it takes a few minutes)
Every single time this has happened, I have been completely amazed at people's kindness and understanding.
Instead of glares I always get smiles.
People want to see the screaming baby and then tell me how cute she is (she is pretty cute)!
If I apologize to those around me, they wave it off and make a joke about their own children or ask me which aisle I found her in so they can go get one.
It's so... fun!
Who knew people were so great?!
