Eighteen months

Today Josh is 18 months old! He's growing up so fast... Yesterday I took him shopping in Augusta and I won't lie--it was torture! At Kohl's, he was in the cart, then wanted out and screamed "up up up" until I took him out. Then he wanted to touch (eeeek!) the wheel of the cart. For a while he was walking next to the cart pushing it. That was good entertainment for him, but I couldn't stop and look at anything. At another point, I distracted him with a granola bar so I could shop, but I got nasty looks from the Kohl's employees. At Christmas Tree Shop, he say a school bus from 30 feet way and freaked out about it! He is so fascinated with anything with wheels, it's kinda scary. I put the bus in the cart and he flipped out (he couldn't see it). He cried and kicked and threw a fit until we got out to the car, where he sat in the car seat with the bus in his lap. (It's big! I'll try to get a pic.) Next time, I'll need to enlist reinforcements to go shopping!
