The morning started ok with an early visit to the mall to redeem a Groupon that was expiring today. While Mommy took care of the transaction, Janie practiced her typing on one of the computers.
When we were in the mall, she did a good job following directions and holding hands on the escalator.
Unfortunately, it went downhill from there. She insisted on walking and running on the sidewalk without holding hands. She also didn’t want to ride in the stroller.
In fact, she wanted to be like Daddy and put her hands in her pockets. She walked part of the way and then got really tired and cranky. It took us a very long time to get home. By the time we did get home, we were all exhausted and she fell asleep.
