running errands with a 4 year old

after dinner last night, fin and i went out to run a few errands. somehow he is now under the impression that if he is good, he will get a treat at each and every stop. dont know where that could have possibly come from. the truth is though, i enjoy having the company running errands and he keeps me laughing. last night we had to stop at the liquor store to get some reinforcements for tonight. fin has never been to the liquor store before. when we pulled up, he asked where we were. in efforts to simplify things i said "this is the beer store. mommy needs some beer for the party tomorrow night." quickly followed by "please do not touch anything in this store, because everything is very fragile." he was great in the store, looked only with his eyes (when did i become the mom who says that?!?!) when we got back in the minivan he said "mommy, that beer store made me feel all bubbly." just as i was thinking oh boy, what have i done. he says "i dont like bubbles, they are for grownups." i will be sure to remind him of this the first time he returns home a little bubbly!
