Surprisingly Strong

Abigail, Lillian and I are shopping at Shopko on Saturday. I put both the girls on the floor so we can look at some clothing items. After a few minutes I look up and the shopping cart is moving away from me. It continues to go away until it hits a clothing rack about five feet away. The culprit? Lillian is pushing the cart while pushing on the bar that runs about six inches off the floor and parallel to it.

After I steered her away from said clothing rack she pushed the cart all the way to the checkout stand (I only steered). She also turned the cart a full 180 degrees -on her own- when needed.

Another surprisingly strong moment occurred yesterday when Lillian carried a grocery bag full of wet diapers up the stairs (with one hand) from the living room to the kitchen all by herself - one step at a time. She smiled with every step.
