Smiths with Ella....

So, it has been a while since I had been to the grocery store for "Big" shopping since I had Jiles. Ella wanted to go with me a couple of days ago and I am so glad that she did. Off to Smiths (they had better ads this week, I usually prefer Harmons, much cleaner, newer and way more fun stuff for all the impulse buys), when I got there I soon realized that the car seat that I bought for the baby does not fit, "click", onto the shopping cart. Dang!! I needed the room in my cart for groceries. I ended up putting Jiles in the big part of the cart and was going to load in what I could around him, that is until Ella found the new 'child-sized' carts at Smiths. She usually has a fit and wants me to push around the car-looking ones (which she never stays in), but this time she thought that it would be fun to shop for herself. Well, you would not believe what you can fit in her small cart and my big cart put together. I got all my shopping done and she literally wanted everything in her cart. Now, on to the funny part....I have NO idea where she has heard, or learned this, but everytime we would put something in her cart, a gallon of milk, cheese, cereal, bread, whatever it was, I would say 'thank-you' and she would pipe up with a "it's my pleasure!" WHAT??!? Where did my 4 year old get that?? She was amazing help that day, and on most days, with cleaning, shopping, just being my friend...and she makes me laugh!! All the better. She rocks.
