Advent - Day 17

Brothers are a gift from God.  They are very special and on Christmas our boys will give a gift to our brother. Tonight we went shopping so Maddox could pick out a Christmas gift for Brewer and Brewer could pick out a Christmas gift for Maddox.  (Each child went shopping with an individual parent.  Remember when we did this last year, and I lost Maddox.  Kohl's had a complete lockdown for me.  Yikes!  You can read about the leash I acquired due to that lockdown {here}. I'm happy to report that I didn't lose Maddox this year.  In fact, I decided we would shop together in the same store.)  The boys had a good time looking at things their brother might like -- or things they would like to see be a part of their playroom...LOL!

Brewer is checking out this Batman/Penguin/Imaginext piece for his brother while Maddox is checking out this pink car for his brother.  LOL!!!

Where's my 2-year-old?

I now own a leash.

If you judge me, I will come after you. :)

Maddox and I locked down Kohl's department store for 6 minutes, because I lost him.

Maybe harness is a better word than leash.

So → I now own a harness.

You'll only ever fully understand if Maddox is your own. He is a blessing but so, so busy. When you shop, be thankful he doesn't have to go with you. But we wouldn't trade him, he's our keeper!
