We did our regular early Monday morning grocery shopping. Riley walks so most weeks I can just get a small cart. He knows most of our regular purchases and leads the way. He remembers what I've told him we need and skips and sings as we move up and down aisles. Today I said NO DONUT and he happily agreed to choose another special treat. (Donuts too messy, unhealthy and leave gluten mess!). He carefully chose a box of animal crackers but changed his mind when he spotted the new Christmas display in produce area. He loved the mini live Christmas trees and poinsettas. Decided he NEEDED a blue balloon with Santa and Disney characters. We returned the animal crackers and he showed off his balloon to everyone we passed.
We did our self checkout. Mostly Riley does it and I bag. He loves hunting for the barcode and holding it over the scanner.
I wrapped his balloon ribbon around his arm and warned him about the danger of letting go. 
Buckled into backseat with his ballon he chatted all the way home about his new friend the blue balloon. 
He marched across the yard and into the house clutching his "blue clip" as the balloon danced on the ribbon. OMG so much more fun than a messy donut!
As he went in the front door he yelled,"No, Ozzard this is my balloon. Its not for you!"
Balloon watched while he ate his GF donut. 
Balloon went upstairs to go potty. 
He spent some time fighting fires and then resting while balloon watched.
Balloon watched as he ate his pre-lunch snack (grapes).
He and balloon retreated to the couch while I vacuumed the stairs. He says Ozzy is scared of the big noise but he is not.
Blue balloon went home with Riley. I am sure the adventure lives on over there!!
