I loved your perspective on the parent being the one who can cause the stress, which is solved by slowing down and taking your time. I'm glad you experienced the shopping high at the end though. =)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8444437923670600124.post-74743151811550640782010-08-27T19:48:06.620-04:002010-08-27T19:48:06.620-04:00What a productive evening!

I completely agree, we really do set the tone, for better or worse. <br />So happy you had last night with your little girl :)Corinne Cunninghamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07604810312185816792noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8444437923670600124.post-21921526131909242792010-08-27T19:22:06.541-04:002010-08-27T19:22:06.541-04:00I'm so glad you had a good time!

But never something I wouldn't buy otherwise.Katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15039712389445193435noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8444437923670600124.post-31895473820048872092010-08-27T12:59:08.144-04:002010-08-27T12:59:08.144-04:00I agree.

I usually bring gummies as a treat for good behavior after a big shopping trip.<br /><br />And unless I'm shopping for them (like they need to try on clothes), I generally just leave them at home. I need the break!Kelly Millerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12738542739547858853noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8444437923670600124.post-91182888836135632282010-08-27T10:10:01.009-04:002010-08-27T10:10:01.009-04:00I saw myself in this comment: I realize now that m...I saw myself in this comment: I realize now that most times it is actually me who causes the stress while shopping, not my children. Thanks for helping me pause with that before our next outing.Jillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08863579550620358675noreply@blogger.com
