I love taking Cade shopping with me! I don't know if you believe me but I will say it again in a different way...Thus far I LOVE taking my 1 yr old son shopping with me! Here is why:

Cade and I went to Wal-Mart yesterday to pick up a few things before Nana came into town. We had such a good time...he is such a patient baby and he was just looking at things and talking to me (in his little baby talk lingo) and he helped me keep track of the list. Anyway, we had gathered everything on our list and it was time to check out and go. On the way out there was a sweet lady who was saying bye to people as they were leaving and she was waving at me. She then looked at Cade and said "bye, little guy" and he looked at her and smiled the BIGGEST TOOTHY GRIN I have ever seen!! It was absolutely the funniest thing he has ever done. The lady cracked up laughing. Cade was very sincere in his smile, he was not just smiling to be silly, he genuinely shared his joy with someone else!

I cannot tell you how many times I see someone in a store who looks like they are having a bad day, they are angry or they are just in a hum-drum situation. It's sad! - Cade has an amazing nack for bringing out the smile that is buried within those kind of people. It is so awesome...He has a love for people that speaks to me everytime we go some where. I love to see the joy he brings to others when he smiles at them or reaches for their hand. It is too precious! I pray that he never looses that joy for people and I pray for each of you to share the joy the Lord has placed in your heart. Share a smile with someone, share your love and care for others! People, mean and nice alike, are God's creation and all need your love...even if all you have is a hearing ear or a sweet smile!! Enjoy your day!!
