Just The Two Of Us

I had the opportunity to take Molly on an excursion without Colleen. It was our first time out of the house together. We've spent plenty of time alone at home, but venturing out without Mom to back me up was a new experience.

What's more fun and glamorous on this landmark occasion than shopping at Costco?

It was a little intimidating since I would have to be ready if her mood turned sour at any moment. How long do you try to quiet a crying baby before you abandon your basket and high-tail it out of there? To top it all off, I left her pacifier at home. Rookie mistake for sure.

Luckily, she seemed pretty happy to be there. She smiled easily and enjoyed looking around at everything. She really took it easy on me and we had a great time.
