Shopping!

"No toddlers Mommy.  Go shopping!"
"Go shopping Mommy?"
"Shopping!  Shopping!"

These are a few examples of words that have actually come out of my 2 year olds mouth. 

It started a week or so ago.  One morning, Lincoln asked if we could go shopping.  I told him no, that he was going to Toddlers and Mommy and Daddy were going to work.  He very firmly told me "No toddlers Mommy.  Go shopping!" - with a huge smile on his face.

It then continued later when we picked the boys up from daycare..."Shopping!  Shopping!  Go this way Mommy!" - and he pointed in the direction that we normally take when we run errands after work.

It's become a regular theme with Lincoln -  he requests to go shopping, or is very insistant that he is going shopping instead of going to daycare.

At first I was dumbfound - what 2 year old in their right mind WANTS to go shopping?
Then, I just worried that we were taking him shopping with us too much.
Finally, I figured out the truth.

Shopping for him is going to the grocery store.  If you take him to Sam's or Costco, when you are leaving, he still asks to go Shopping!

Is he going to be a Shop-a-holic?  No...its about seeing the Fishies and Lobsters!
