Our tradition of going to the American Girl Doll Store with our friends to celebrate the return of school is alive and kicking. Sam's behavior this year was the best yet. She earned her new outfit for McKenna and was very happy going shopping before sitting down to lunch. And in a move that shows how smart Sam really is, she prepped me far in advance that she wanted a strawberry milkshake with lunch (just like she got last year). The sun was shinning, the birds were singing, and I was happy Sam was in a great mood. How could I say no?
I love our tradition. I love traditions in general. This was our third year in a row to go with our friends. And there are no signs of stopping. I am sure at some point the girls will be too old to want to do this and of course, do it with us, but I hope that's a long way off in the future.
