The Car Cart

Alex and I were pulling into the grocery store parking lot this morning after dropping Luke off at preschool.  We hadn't even pulled into our parking spot yet, when he shouted from his carseat, "Alexander want car cart."  I started laughing so hard I could barely park the car.  That kid cracks me up.  He recently started calling himself Alexander, as his teachers call him that.  That is his full name, and we've mainly called him Alex.  Well, he likes Alexander, and he can finally say it.  At home, he gets mad if you say, "Alex" and not "Alexander."  It's been quite funny, and he even starts pouting at the dinner table if in the prayer, one of the kids says, "God Bless Alex," and not Alexander. He puts his head down and pouts, quietly saying, "Alexander."  So, his comment about wanting a car cart was hilarious to me.  He rarely gets to go to the store without the others in tow, and he was going to make sure that he was able to enjoy his grocery shopping experience.  Thankfully, it was nice and early, and there were plenty of car carts still available.
