So Willie wanted small chocolate chip cookies and Cheez-its. It was a beautiful day and his mom and I took him to ‘The Corner Store’ a couple of blocks away.

The book bag carries Willie’s ever present bears.

Willie felt pretty independent taking in the sights without his hand being held.

A good tip we learned for taking Willie to the store is discussing with him exactly how many items he can get. In this case he wanted 2 specific items.

After the store visit we all headed home. Willie carried his own goodies.

At one point he even let me hold his hand.

It was great.
