Balloons

A trip to Publix is a weekly event in our household. Sometimes, it becomes biweekly; other times, it is triweekly; you get the picture. Luke is a good helper as we shop, pointing out "grapes", "flags" (yes, they do have a flag inside the store), and, most importantly, "balloons". Our son LOVES balloons, a feeling that was compounded around his birthday as he was surrounded by colored balloons that he could chase! Publix, being the wonderful store that it is, kindly gives children free balloons and cookies (we try to skip the latter)! Now Luke knows that the balloons are found at the end of the produce section, so he starts asking "please" somewhere around the bananas and flowers. This green balloon spent the afternoon following Luke around everywhere. Unfortunately, they only last a day before the helium escapes and the balloon drifts to the floor. Then, they aren't nearly as interesting. :)
