Wednesday:
Grocery Day! Every Wednesday, we go to the grocery stores. Liam knows the names of them all and announces it when we pull up into the parking lot of each one. His favorite is HEB. There, he gets Buddy Bucks, which he reminds me as we approach the check out line. It really is the simple things that blow kids away at this stage. All they are are pieces of green paper with "H E Buddy" a paper sack printed on them. But, what you do with those buddy bucks is the real treat. You put them in the 'Buddy Buck Machine' where a giant wheel spins around like on the Price is Right, and Liam gets to pound a grapefruit sized, red, blinking button to stop the wheel. Then, it stops on a number and out pops a sticker that has that same number printed on it. Liam, ideally, will take them and put them in his 'Buddy Buck Magazine' to keep track of his points. Then he can cash them in for various prizes based on the season. Best of all, all of this takes place directly under the balloon cage, where of course, Liam gets a balloon. Today, it was an orange balloon. That's the highlight of Grocery Day!
