Shopping with Baby

Hello!

I went shopping with baby and my good friend J today.. and it was so funny. I am totally not used to pushing a stroller with a baby while shopping, and to make it even more distracting, while chatting with my favourite friend... so some classic moments:

- As we were walking out of a lift, I was so engrossed talking to her, I wasn't watching where I was pushing and I accidentally pushed the stroller into a wall. We both burst out laughing then. This is so like old times when we walk, I wouldn't watch where I was going or where my hands were flailing and I would walk into people or accidentally hit people.. Except now it's with a stroller :P

- As we were checking out Mac laptops, I left the stroller parked a short distance from me facing away, and as I was listening intently to a salesman explaining the difference between a MacBook Air and MacBook Pro, in the distance I heard a baby wailing,  I was thinking to myself "Ah, there's a baby crying in the store", until a while later, it clicked and I realised "Oh dear, it's mine!". Sure enough, when I checked, there he was wailing away in the stroller, with noone to look after him. The poor guy. I am totally not used to realising I am the mom of a little kid and I have to pay attention to him at all times :P Same thing repeats itself when I'm grocery shopping with baby. I have a tendency to leave him parked somewhere while I go browsing along the aisles..
