Lilly's Mecca

It's no secret - Lilly loves her electonics! Remote controls, tvs, telephones, cell phones, kindles, laptops. Even the baby monitor! She loves it all. It's also no secret - I don't take Lilly very many places. Lots of reasons - all of them are because I'm a freak and I wont apologize for it either! Anyway - Aunt Kelly thought it would be great to do an "experiment." She suggested while Ernie and Chris took the kids to a hockey game that we could take Lilly out into the world. It's not like I dont take her anywhere... I do take her places, just not very far away or very crowded. This look of pure joy would leave anyone to believe this is her first car ride!
And we took her to what we are sure will be her mecca for many years to come.
I let her touch everything! This is why you should not buy the display models! She helped a customer test out some audio speakers by turning the volume up very loud! She looked at TVs. And here she is touching some satellite radios! Loads of fun!

And here she is telling the nice lady at Best Buy who took all her Aunt Kelly's money: "We'll take this one!"

Ironically, Aunt Kelly did not take a picture or video of Lilly crying the whole way to Best Buy and the whole way back! And yes, we all survived, but I was a little traumatized. However, Lilly and I tried another experiment on Sunday evening. We drove all the way to Ballwin (43 miles to be exact) to visit our friends, Todd and Melinda and their daughter Renee. She did well on the way there because she was busy with her bottle. The ride home, however... Well - no more experimenting solo for this mother anymore!
