Danger

Little Prince is curious, adventurous and impulsive.  He is a constant danger to himself as he climbs everything he sees with no concept of keeping himself safe.  I have to chase him around keeping him from falling off whatever he managed to get his little toes up on.  He also grabs at everything he can reach.  The thing is that he is clumsy so he will either trip over it or he will drop it and the end result either way is that he will probably break it.  Just this week he has broken a lamp, a picture, and a glass canister.  And he also knocked over my Tassimo, but luckily he didn't break that one.  I am not mad, he isn't purposely destructive.  He is simply curious and clutzy and that is an exhausting combination.  I feel like I am always trying to keep him safe or grabbing him so I  can clean up the latest broken glass.  There's  absolutely no anger at all I am just scared he will get hurt if I am not fast enough one day.

Alone

I actually got out by myself today.  I just had a couple of things to pick up.  My favorite taxi driver picked me up.  I chatted with him on my way.  Once I got to one end of the street I could walk up to the other end stopping by other stores along the way.  It was a lot of walking but it was nice to get out.  I love a couple of the stores here and the people who work there.  They remind me of people from home because they are so friendly and helpful. I especially like this store.  There are so many cute things that I would love to add to our home.   I may actually buy a piece or two for Little Prince's room.  I will share more about that store later but I had to post a picture of this painting.   I just LOVE it.

Out

We went out shopping for groceries today but we decided to make an outing of it and take the whole family with us.  It was fun.  I like that we have a certain taxi driver who always drives us.   He is sweet, accommodating, and friendly.  He knows us all and asks about the family if I am out alone.
