Friday morning we headed out for an early breakfast with some sweet friends for my birthday. When we were done eating the day was still young and AB was still hours from napping, not to mention full so we decided to run a few errands.
First you have to know that we live in one of those small towns that attempted to make a mall work and make sense but failed somewhat miserably. Our malls flagship stores have mostly disappeared and have started to be replaced with chains that make more sense like Jo-Ann Fabric, TJ Maxx and Tuesday Morning.
This is all well and good with me, not to mention it makes a ton more sense for the community. The other thing this mall is overflowing with besides sensible stores is mall-walkers.
After hitting up Jo-Ann Fabrics AB had some extra energy to burn so I took her out to the middle of the mall and let her loose.
You would have thought we had just hopped off the monorail at Disney by the smile on her face. She loved making her way down the carpeted mall floor and smiled and said "hi" to every passerby.
Not only did it make her day, but I really think it brightened the day of many of those elderly mall-walkers. They loved watching this new walker bumble up and down the mall path.
Seriously though, who could resist this cheesy grin?
Next time you need to help your new walker burn some energy or you just want to hear 1 million people tell you how adorable your kiddo is, head to the mall in the early-ish morning for some mall-walking fun.
