Just like to share a photo of Thomas and mommy's weekly routine....shopping for groceries at Trader Joes.
Here he has stopped for a small cup of soy milk that they serve next to their sample coffee of the day. Note the balloon attached as well as the frozen food packages already in the cart.
Inspired by hearing about the Pleasant Hill Trader Joes having miniature replicas of shopping carts in store for kids; Catherine started packing the play-toy grocery cart during their grocery runs to Trader Joes and it's a huge hit with Thomas! Safeway is too big and Thomas would probably get too tired pushing that thing from end-to-end....
He puts things that Catherine picks out and sometimes things that he wants. It brings smiles to some of the shoppers and the check-out cashiers. Sometimes other kids are intrigued and peer around the aisles to check Thomas and his fancy carts out...
I'm sure after a few more weeks, the novelty for Thomas will wear off...but in the meantime, gave me some photo ops!

What a great idea! that little cart is so cute!
I remember taking the boys to Whole Foods Market and there would always be conflict about wanting to take the shopping-cart-turned-truck. The boys would always want it, but I hated to use it because it was so cumbersome and hard to maneuver.
*Sigh* Missing Trader Joe's. A friend sent us some dark chocolate from there and it was GOOD.
very cute!
Trader Joe's is the best place to grocery shop with the kids! A snack bar in the middle of the expedition and a balloon at the end! - Regina
