Elf in Training!


For those that know me, I love to shop. And I'm obsessed with finding the best deals! So I wasn't going to let the fact that Anthony was going camping stop me from the biggest day of shopping - black Friday.

The only problem was - I needed a shopping buddy. Usually I go with my fam, but my sister had to work and my mom had to watch Avery. So I decided this year I'd have to settle for Tanner being my shopping buddy - and he was the best ever - and this is why!

  1. I didn't need an alarm clock. He woke me up when he was ready to start the day and we were off. And I even got to sleep in until 7:00.

  2. People are SO nice when they see you have a baby. When I was checking out at Target, the cashier was insisting that someone help me to my car. I guess I did have a cart full of stuff, but I told her I was totally fine.

  3. He doesn't ask for things or put things into the cart. And he won't tell what other people what you are getting for them.

One person commented that I must be really brave, but really, Tanner loves walking around in his baby bjorn. I knew exactly what I wanted - so I was in and out of the stores in no time. He even got a normal long nap in the morning - and when he woke up again - we headed to one more store just in time to catch the 1pm sale closing. I guess the only downer was that he couldn't hold my spot in line while I ran to get the one last thing I forgot. Oh well!

But after hearing about the Wal-Mart sales associate who was killed by the mobs, I guess I should consider myself lucky. But that's why I never shop at Wal-Mart! Sorry folks, but Target is SO much better!
