Thursday I only needed a few things from the grocery store so I loaded up all three babies and went to the store by myself! Although I've thought about doing this several times this was the first time I finally got the courage to actually do it. One of the things I hate the most is being dependent on others to watch my babies while I go grocery shopping. I planned it all out in my mind and packed all the necessary sancks, toys, etc. I parked close to a cart return so I could grab a shopping cart quickly. I wiped down the cart with a sanitizer wipe and put a blanket in the bottom of the cart. I placed the boys in the bottom with a couple of toys and I put Addison in the top child seat area. As we went into the grocery store I grabed another cart for my groceries and pushed one and pulled one. Overall the babies did pretty good, it was a whole new world of people and sounds to check out. Collin kept standing up so I was constantly sitting him back down. Addison enjoyed her ride up high until we checked out and she wanted to be with the boys. Bryce got a little fussy and rode part of the time in the child seat of the second cart. I got a lot of looks and a lot of questions (are they triplets, are they all yours, oh my you have your hands full, etc.). When I got to the checkout the employees were very helpful and we survived our first trip. I'm still not sure it is something I want to do on a weekly basis but I know it is possible if I need to.
Our cart full!
