Down syndrome attracts a lot of attention (not always good... sometimes erroneously looks of pity... which I am compelled to address in a most positive way!). And 3 children attract a lot of attention. You're right, most folks don't take their children with them (occasionally you see maybe 1 child... usually an infant). But I take all 3 of my kids with me on major food shops every time. Yes, it's more work but the real-world experience for them and the joy they bring to me and invariably to so many others sustains me in this joined chore. I will continue to inconvenience myself with this task for as long as they'll let me. .-= Maggie Mae´s last blog ..<a href="http://walkonthehappyside.blogspot.com/2010/02/what-dealing-with-down-syndrome-taught.html" rel="nofollow">What Dealing With Down Syndrome Taught Me About Dealing With Alzheimer's</a> =-.

Mine choose that time to act wild and test my patience. It is hard to get this attention when all you want to do is get your items and move on to fun activities! It was nice that the lady was nice. People can be really rude with comments about big families. Sadly, I know. Your children are absolute angels in the commissary! Mine choose that time to act wild and test my patience.

My son is grown.. but Istill enjoy seeing young children... you know... you may want to take one with you each time... rotate it so that child feels special that week.... children love to go grocery shopping. Like you I dreaded grocery shopping... well I still do but for different reasons... just hate the chore.. but when Erik was little he was quite a bundle to schlep (like the NY word?) around especially in a snow suit... the bakery always had a "cookie club" for kids so it was the first stop for his free cookie.... and we had to stop by the fish counter and see the lobthsters... (yes, he said it with the "th" in the middle)....taking te extra time drove me nuts... but I'm glad I did those things... they are the best memories... and food for conversations still .-= Linda@cookingtipoftheday´s last blog ..<a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/CookingTipOfTheDay/~3/I9igeJBkZPE/valentines-day-crunch-time.html" rel="nofollow">Valentine’s Day – Crunch Time</a> =-.

I took the boys to Lotte Mart (think Korean Target) with me this past weekend. It took nearly an hour and a half and I only got a handful of items. However, every couple steps we were stopped so people could look at, smile at, cuddle on, etc. the boys. It's sweet that people love on them - but I think they'll both be in for a shock when we move back to the States where that's not really the norm.
