Silly Shopping
Shopping with a toddler is not always so easy, but it sure does help if an extra person is around! Often, I’m the extra person with my daughter and granddaughter so Ryan and I keep ourselves occupied all sorts of ways. One is by taking advantage of those long aisles between departments in a large store. And, when it’s not crowded, it’s the perfect place to play follow the leader!
We’d look pretty silly if people weren’t so occupied selecting items to buy — but who cares. We’re being mice taking tiny steps, elephants taking giant steps, soldiers who are marching and then shouting out commands of FREEZE and GO every now and then! I love it when Ryan gives me that look with arms bent at her side and says, “Ready? Let’s race!”
It sure does brighten a dull moment. Try it outside a restaurant while the others are waiting in line! What could be better than being silly together!

Sharla not only is the definitive source to reach children — talk to and with them and serve as a conduit to reach them, but I’ve discovered that she is actually 9/10ths. child. Yes! She is not a baby boomer — but an active child parading around as a baby boomer. She embodies the spirit and joyous qualities that we love about our children and she is full of ideas that capture both the innocence and demand for quality enlightenment so evident in children.
She is wonderful in her role as communicator with the young and those who represent (and teach) them. Sharla rocks!
