Shopping with Momma

"Momma, can you take my picture by this lady?"

"And, this one too?"

The Infamous Play Castle

After dropping Noah at school this morning, Emma and I were heading to the Apple Store.  I had a faulty sleep switch and AppleCare needed to be put to use.  Once that was complete, Emma and I strolled a bit.  Browsed shoes at Dillards, ran into the LOFT, all to kill some time before we had to pick up Noah from summer school.  There was a lot of "Momma, I want to get out!"  And, "Momma, I don't like shopping," and, Momma chasing Emma out around everywhere.  So, after I came to the realization that shopping with Emma was not as easy or fun as it was with Noah at the same age, I decided to be a good Momma, and take her to the play castle.  Noah would never let me skip the play castle on a trip to the mall, and I can honestly say, that I don't think Emma has ever been in to play.  Well, she LOVED it!  I think it was her first time really roaming around with a large group of other children.  She was a bit apprehensive and extra careful to try to stay out of everyone's way.  At one point, a little boy head bumped right into her.  I was worried she might start crying, but not this tough cookie.  Speaking of cookie, I bribed her with one to leave.  She asked later that afternoon, if we could go back.  Awwh... sure thing, sweet girl!
