Alex Loves Shopping. No, Really. He Does.

I had an appointment with my neurosurgeon, Dr. deLotbiniere this afternoon. I had to bring Alex with me, which was great with him. It meant we could spend some time together at White Plains.

I had to return some DVDs to the Mamaroneck library. I also had to get Alex a new biking helmet and the experimental "potty toy" today. So, we went out to Mamaroneck Avenue early. Then we traveled to White Plains. This was a whole DAY of shopping for Alex.

After the surgeon examined my scar and told me that he would like me to get an MRI on the anniversary of my surgery, we left the office and walked to the bus stop. We took it towards White Plains instead and did some shopping.

For a strange reason (meaning the carts he saw which had riding cars attached to them), he wanted to go to Shop Rite (which he kept calling "Shop Well"). Then, when I told him that we didn't need any groceries, he wanted to go to Target. I was OK with that as long as we could look at clothing for him. He had other plans. The toy aisles were ready for him.

I took some photos for Santa. Ya know, ideas. We never did get to look at any clothing.

"I love shopping", he told me "Just not for clothes, or pots, or groceries. Just toys, really."

I think I figured that out.
