Our First Outing

Today was mine and Ellie's first outing with just the two of us. I have to say I get extremely nervous anytime I take her out in public. She is becoming notorious for her meltdowns and I am so afraid it's going to happen while we're out and I am going to panic. 9 times out of 10 we have a meltdown just getting into the carseat and it's a toss up as to whether or not I'll get her to calm down. But today I was determined to overcome the fear and just do it .... meltdown or not! The trip was to Walmart and Target for a few supplies (and also because I am dying to get out of the house). She had a moment while getting into the carseat, but quickly calmed down and we were ready to go. She did so great! There was a brief crying spell once we left Walmart and I was putting her back in the car, but she recovered and off we went to Target. She was great in Target, but I also looked like a contestant on Supermarket Sweep. I flew through the aisles grabbing just what I needed instead of my usual lingering to look at everything. I was very pleased with how our first trip together turned out. Hopefully there will be many more to come! Stay tuned...
