Conquering my fears...

Get ready to laugh at me. I haven't left my house with Silas and another kid (with the exception of preschool drop off and mops) in six weeks. So all those errands I usually run? Yeah, the husband either does them after work or I go when he gets home. But today I took Ava and Silas to Target. By myself.

I'm not afraid of losing them or anything, I'm afraid Ava will meltdown and Silas will start screaming. Other people will stare. Judgements will be made. I guess I rely on my husband a ton to help me with the kids in public. Even taking Chloe and Silas out makes me nervous. All three kids? Not sure when that's going to happen....Usually taking more than one of them would involve a lot of sweating, some crying (by them, not me, I wait until I get home) about 45 snack baggies and sippy cups, strollers, shoes on then shoes off....it just seems like a ton of work with all three. I know we'll get there, eventually.

But Target today was a success. I even rewarded Ava with new sunglasses :) We hula hooped in the toy aisle and picked out some new Playdough! I got what I needed, and Silas actually slept until we got home (then he started screaming, we think he's a little colicky, poor guy!).

Here's to many more tear-free outings!
