Henry loved shopping. I think his first trip to Wal Mart occurred at age 3 or 4 days old. Luckily Henry was born in the spring, so we didn't have to worry too much about cold and flu bugs, although Daddy always carefully disinfected the cart before putting Henry in it. Now, on these first trips Henry didn't do too much, other than snooze. But quickly he became interested in the lights at the stores. He gazed at the ceiling in wonder. As he got a little older he started becoming more interested in the colors on the shelves, but the lights were always his favorite!
Henry was even a good sport when he'd get stuck going to Target with Mommy. Like many others, Target can suck me in for much longer than I'd plan. And Henry would just chill while I wandered. The TV wall was his favorite, and we always had to stop in the baby toys and play with the musical turtle (until we finally just bought it!)
Just as with everything in his life, Henry enjoyed shopping and could just go with the flow. Our shopping trips are much quieter now, but I always picture that sweet little face as I push a shopping cart!
