One word: leash!! Once my nephew & niece got old enough to stick their button noses up at the stroller, my sister got a child leash. Sure, she got a few nasty looks, but the kids loved it – they could run around as much as they wanted – and my sister loved it because she never lost track of them. They’re 10 and 12 now, and they don’t show any adverse psychological trauma. ;)

The photos of Bug are so cute, my favorite is the Bug in a Bag. I hate shopping as well and I wish I could say it gets easier but it doesn’t. My girls, 10 and 12, have no patience when I shop for myself. They only want to shop for themselves. Have fun at the wedding and I love the suit you picked.

Yes, I have a hard time shopping with kids, too. Mine are always pulling clothes off the racks. Ugh!
BTW, I think the red dress looks cute!

I’ve just remembered why it’s not a good idea to go clothes shopping with children… when I was around eight I encouraged my mother to buy a seriously dubious hat, just because I thought it looked so silly. BAD, BAD child. Sorry mam.

I giggled through this entire post. Because if I didn’t, I would have been crying. These are exactly the shopping stories I have with my toddler. The diagram of point A to point B, the hiding in the racks to give Mommy a heart attack, all of it. I just have to remind myself to breathe and that she really is stinkin’ adorable. Seriously, their cuteness is all that allows them to survive somedays, I swear :)

Love the suit. Love the post. She’ll grow out of this stage and you will laugh about this later. :)

Also a first-time visitor via pioneerwoman.com. My daughter will be 5 in a couple of weeks. I couldn’t help laughing, because at least I know it wasn’t just my child!!. I’d try to go when she was in school,heck I still do. I remember last summer we were in Wal Mart. There was a bunch of us, her dad, brothers, & cousins. She was the youngest. I left her with them so I could get what I needed to get in peace. When I’m done I find them all, except the 4 yo. They said she was with them. Well where is she now?!?!?! She must still be in the toy dept, so we look all over the store, still can’t find her, it’s been like 5, not even 10 min now, I’m freaking out, thinking all kinds of things. Then we find her, guess where?!?! She was getting herself a chocolate frosted donut from the bakery. Oh Yeah she had picked up some goldfish on her shopping spree too!!!!
