Cheap Fun at the Supermarket

Last weekend, we had just been for breakfast and were between tasks for the day so we decided to pick up a couple of things from the supermarket. On the way into the store, Rhys saw the huge kiddie cart/trolleys and tried to make a dash for them. Not wanting to be those parents whose kids had to be entertained by portable videos screens everywhere, we scooped him up and started to walk away when I noticed that these crazy contraptions were actually free. After a pained look from each of us, we decided to put him in, set the video player to some show we'd never heard of and gave it a try. How could we deny him some free fun?




We probably spent twice as long in the store as usual and in the end only bought a punnet of strawberries and some baby wipes but he had a great time and it was the quietest and stillest he had ever been in any store. Once we unbuckled him at the end of the trip he made straight for the almost identical buggy beside it but this time we were firm and said not this time...
