mommy daughter mope time

So today is Friday. It is the day I have to rush out the door with Kadence and Jakob so that Jakob can go to zoo class. (I live an hour away from the zoo and he has to be there by 9.) Well, this morning everyone was tired and didn't want to get up, we have been getting over being sick. I have 10 minutes to get out the door and Rick decides to make pancakes for Jakob. But...we make it anyway.

Jakob off to class, Krischan at school, and Mom and daughter together by ourselves. Let's go buy shoes. Which I did...for her. I can't buy shoes when someone is with me, kids or adults. Shopping for shoes is like picking out a good book, it takes time and you can't do it when you have a little one with you, or big one with you taking up any of your attention. Although, I do enjoy buying Kadence shoes, so it isn't too much of a big deal. Do I really need a new pair of shoes anyway?

Hah!(big bellowing laugh while I throw my head back) who am I kidding, of course I do, even if I bought a new pair everyday I would still need a new pair of shoes. Life isn't life without a new pair of shoes...

After that we head back to the zoo to enjoy some mommy daughter time seeing the animals, but my little girl decided to go crank.

so I gave her a cracker...

and she slouched.
So I took her to play on the polar bears...

and she whined.
So I took her to see the grizzly bear...

and she cried.
so we went to go see the otters...

and she sulked.
So we picked up Jakob and headed home...
and she cried, and cried and cried.

So we got home and she slept, and slept and slept.
Once she got up, she just sat in my lap, then got up and was fine.

oh, to be a little girl.
