Compliments...

Last Saturday, I went to my aunt's house to make chocolates with the married girls in the family on my mom's side. (That's much easier to say than explaining who it all was...) It was a long day, but fun, and we all went home with around 3 pounds of chocolates, I think. (Mmmm!) Anyways, while I was there, DaNae told me how I never update my blog. (I thought I had been doing pretty good compared to how it was when I was in school...) SO, this one's for you, Nae! :) I don't have pictures to add, but at least it's a post!

Today my visiting teaching partner took me to lunch. We went to El Mirador's-- a Mexican restaurant here in Blackfoot. It was pretty good. We both got shredded beef burritos, which were good, but Lisa said they weren't as good as the dinner ones. Kiely was giving her cheesy little grin to everyone that looked at her, including every time Lisa looked at her. It was pretty cute. I had a good time, and Kiely did, too. She really liked the chips, and dipping them in the re-fried beans. (She also enjoyed dipping her fingers in the beans, and made a pretty good mess!) The waitress thought she was so cute, and gave her a little treat. Kiely would have stayed with her if I would have let her! After we were done with lunch, I had some things to get at Wal Mart, so off we went.

While we were at Wal Mart, Kiely was getting tired, and wanted to go where she wanted to go, didn't want to stay in the cart, etc... I don't really love it when this happens. BUT, my solution is usually this: I put her down, and she helps me push the cart (she holds on to the bottom shelf thing to push it.) I have to admit, I think it's pretty cute! People usually say things like, "Oh, that's cute!" or "She's so cute/sweet!" Today was probably a record of compliments for her, and I have to tell my favorite one. We were walking down an aisle, and this grandma lady said, "Hey, stop. I need to see that little girl! She is the cutest thing I've ever seen!" (Something like that...) All this time, Kiely continued to push, and I'm not sure she even turned to give the lady a cheesy grin. I said, "Sorry! She wants to keep on going! She must have somewhere to go!" I then said thanks, and continued on my way, while the lady (I'm pretty sure) was still adoring my little Bug. I'm always happy when I get these compliments, because they make up for the times when Kiely is screaming, and people are staring, probably wondering if I did something I shouldn't to her; but in reality, she's just tired. One of these screaming times, I even noticed that a lady had left her cart, and walked back away from it about 10 feet closer to me to see what was going on.... And that is why I enjoyed that cute little moment today!

Sorry I don't have any pictures. I'll have to get one sometime of her pushing the cart, because it really is quite adorable! :)
