Drew is getting to the age where naps can sometimes be optional. I usually try to give him an opportunity each day, but whether or not he takes that opportunity is hit-or-miss. Today, at home, was a miss. So I needed to do some grocery shopping, and so of course, during the 1 mile drive from our house to Wal-Mart, he conks out. He was just so sweet and I felt so sorry for him...
...so I put some blankets in the cart and laid him down in there.
I still gotta do what I came to do...but now where do I put the groceries?
People were either giving me funny looks, or saying "awwww" or making other random comments. It was a tad embarrassing carefully trying to stack up soup cans so they wouldn't topple over and knock him in the head. My biggest challenge was trying to find a place for my 6- pack of paper towels. (Gotta have 'em!) I was forced to forego the T.P, though- no room whatsoever. I think we have enough to last until next time. (I hope!!!)
Finally! He opens his eyes just when I have no more places to stack stuff. ( I even had to put some stuff in my purse-don't worry; I remembered to pay for it!) Me: "Bubba, want to wake up so I can put more food in the cart?" Drew: (shakes his head no and closes his eyes.) I am such a sucker, and he is just so cute, I let him get away with it.
I took this picture at the check-out line, just before he awakened and tried to sit up, as a mountain of cans, bottles, bags, and containers fell on top of him, pinning him down. I am trying not to laugh as I pull him out of the rubble and clear him a place to sit down. This isn't even the first time he has slept in the cart- I believe he did this last time we went to the grocery store- but this time I was lucky enough to have left my camera in my (enormous) purse. Classic!

That is so funny!! Poor Drew, relegated to sleeping with the bread and cereal.. maybe you guys need to get him a real bed! :o)
That is so cute!!! I can't believe anyone would sweat you?? Funny, he can sleep with food, but most days can't sleep with sheets. That's MY boy!!!
this is SO classic. If I saw him and you in the store I would decide right then and there that I needed to be friends with you guys. SO cool! It's hilarious.
