Midweek dates with Kevin and Colin usually consist of take out and a trip to Costco. We love drooling over TVs and other cool new gadgets and things and Colin loves to people watch. So many sounds, smells (yes, I would like to try a bacon wrapped scallop!), and colors!
Costco is a wonderful sensory overload for Colin :)
Well, on our most recent trip they were selling these stuffed animal seats. Kevin pulled one out of the box to show Colin and he got SOOOOO excited! I mean, like, he was kind of panting and hyperventilating excited!
Now, one thing you should know about Colin is that he doesn't often get excited or ruffled. In fact, on all of our Costco trips we take Colin into the big freezer/fridge, and he doesn't even blink in the cold. He doesn't even notice, or rather acknowledge, the difference. We go toy shopping too (more for us than him) and he just stares at the people and not the super awesome toy I am holding out to him.
Not this time! He reached out for the big froggy seat and hugged it to him, smiled super big, and started the giggle. It was beyond adorable.
So we did what any other responsible and awesome parent would do - we bought the bright green frog, strapped it into the seat next to Colin's carseat, and brought it home.
I stand by my decision!
Those smiles and giggles were totally worth it!

Hahaha that Colin is SO CUTE.
That's exactly what a responsible parent would do ;). It's so fun to see a little one so excited!
