One of the best shopping scores I made for my daughter was
an arm chair. I swear that chair is the
best money that I have ever spent. Below is the tale of how I found the chair
and how much she loves it.
Invariably when I shop I am drawn to the children’s
section. Shopping for the baby is
sometimes more fun than shopping for me. Who would have thunk it?! As a
lifelong shopaholic I had no idea that shopping could get any better. Anybody
who’s looking for the ultimate shopping experience, have a kid!
On MLK Day, my mother and I attended a celebration then we
did a bit of shopping. We went to
Pittsburgh’s new Home Goods store. We’re doing our part to stimulate the
economy one shopping trip at a time. Many things caught our attention. However,
in addition to a few other things, we left with large quantities of Green Tea,
some dish towels, a couple of lamps and the cutest pint sized arm chair you have
ever seen.
My baby loves the chair. As soon as the chair came home it
was like she felt like she belonged with us and wasn’t just a visitor in the
big people’s world. She often enjoys her snack in the chair, watches videos or
just sits there because she feels like it. It’s hers and she knows it.
I think that these little things small
chairs, putting snacks within reach and toys where she can get them helps
foster her independence and give her a sense of belonging. And although her mother is amazed by her
independence she wants her to know that this is her home and she belongs right
here with her people. I hope she likes us!
