MY SIDEKICK

sloane, i just want to jot this down real quick so that you and i can remember this later. 

one time, on a windy and sunny saturday afternoon when your dad had gone out of town, you and i went to carytown to run errands and do some last minute shopping. i grabbed some coffee and proceeded to spend the next 3 hours walking down the street, in and out of stores, and even though it took longer than i expected and the crowds were just as hectic as i expected, you were the best sidekick a mom could ever ask for. you were patient, pleasant and adorable. which are the best qualities a baby sidekick could have. i know it got boring after a while, and you would go from cold to sweaty because i bundled you up so warm that the inside of stores probably felt like a furnace, but you stuck it through, and was pretty much a rockstar in my opinion. you stared wide-eyed at everything you saw, smiled when i sang you christmas songs, took a quick nap when you got tired, and didn't complain, even though i expected you to.  thanks for keeping me company, i love hanging out with you.
