Having a little friend to go
grocery shopping with me.
I just love that Koen takes
a trip with me every Friday
to buy our weekly groceries.
Our sweet routine starts in the parking lot
and as we hold hands,
he tries to dart off to scare unsuspecting birds.
Sometimes he splashes in rain puddles
while other times he marvels
at the huge delivery trucks idling in the unloading area.
His little feet dangle below him
as he perches in the shopping cart.
We zip up and down the aisles while
he grabs at snacks and bargains with me
to sneak a few bites of this and that.
I always say no at first
but he somehow manages to
eat his way through the entire grocery store.
Then he isn't hungry for lunch later.
I really don't mind a spoiled lunch once a week.
Sometimes I'll do just about anything
to keep him busy so I can shop in peace.
Every single person who passes by us
smiles at him.
Sometimes I catch him playing peek-a-boo
with little old ladies as they wheel on by.
I treasure these moments that pass between us
in the grocery store aisles.
Soon, he will be in pre-school
and I will shop all alone.
For now, it makes me
terribly happy to have him there with me.
