Caitlin likes to go shopping. Make the slightest inkling that we are going shopping and her adrenalin gets pumping.
Typical female I guess. But at least for now she is not keen on checking out shoes….
However, I gotta be fair. I do like to go check out gadget shops too. When we passed the Machines store (Apple and accessory store) Caitlin actually recognised it. “Daddee you wanna go in there?” I didn’t have to, so we didn’t. Much as I’d like to repeat the ritual of making at least 1 round and probably see the same stuff as the last visit.
Hee hee.
I can’t say this shoppaholic gene runs through the whole family though. The little man was actually already asleep in the car on the way even though his big sister was all the chatterbox that she is (even more of since we were going shopping).
Nice way to spend the public holiday that we had this week, I reckon 
It’s school holidays next week, and I have kinda made promises of more mini adventures with her…. Only that now I don’t think I can get days off work anymore- looks like this Daddee may have to break some promises, or only do them on weekends and cram the shopping malls and carparks with the rest of the city folk …. Yikes.
Spending an afternoon in a bookstore IN the Mall can be pretty fun and enriching too.
Hit the bookstores Daddee, cultivate the reading habit for Caitlin. And the shoe bug….trust me it will bite. Don’t be fooled now as she is not exposed to sandals, wedges, stilettos, pumps etc. Hot Mummee is quite the shoe fan too I know.
I agree with moomykin! Take her to the bookstore and let her read… or at least flip through the pages. Make the shopping adventure more educational!
Well, at least Caitlin is kind and giving. She knows daddee’s favorite place to go in the mall too. Such a good girl!
Yeah I guess you are all right. I did bring her to MPH with the kids section once, and there were kids sitting around flipping through the “sample” books. That would have been a more positive influence.
Next time…..
