Why Jackson Goes to the Mall

I absolutely love going to the mall. I don't even have to have a reason to enjoy a trip to the mall. When I first started teaching and would have a hard day, I would go to the mall and enjoy window shopping, the energy of the other shoppers, and stop by Mrs. Fields. Suddenly my day was much better!

I have learned that J enjoys the mall for very different reasons. I thought I would showcase a few of them below...

1) Not only does he get to see zillions of other strollers (or "cars"), he usually gets to eat at his favorite restaurant! He can eat an entire 6-piece Kid's meal plus the extra bread and fruit that I bring. What a growing boy!

2) We often meet favorite friends and family at the mall. Thanks for joining us "Lala" and "Haha"!

3) We always get a drink with a straw!

And on our most recent trip, ChaCha showed J his new favorite reason for frequenting the mall...

4) The fountain

J LOVES watching this wonderful display of water. After a few minutes, the water dies down before erupting in the air again...

 

J was concerned about the water every single time the fountain took a break. We would always look for it and ask him "Where did it go?". Then, we would celebrate when it erupted again. He caught on VERY quickly!

J's "Where did it go?" motion!!!

He says, "Go?", while doing his hands :)

Really concerned about the water.

"ChaCha, do you know where the water is?"

And finally...

The fountain as it should be!

J approves!

What a fun time we had watching that fountain. I am constantly amused and entertained by the things he finds enjoyable and interesting.
