Its a Big, Scary World

First it was the bucket of sawdust Grandpa Scherbel had, then it was the strange new surface called grass, but today Caden discovered the scariest thing yet - the shopping cart. Until now he has ridden in his car seat carrier, but today I decided he was sitting well enough he could sit in the cart on his own. He didn't think that was too bad until he looked down. I'm not sure if it was that he was so high up and not being held, or if all those bars just looked intimidating, but he responded with a look of sheer horror followed by the wail to match. I did eventually get him calmed down, and once he realized he was safe he decided it was kind of fun. He swung his feet and gazed intently down for the remainder of the shopping excursion.
