Most days Josh Oliver would rather be a bump on a log than do any sort of errands with me--even fun ones.
I generally can't even talk him in to going out to eat lunch because he just wants to eat a boring lunch at home.
I'm pretty sure he would turn into a hermit, only coming out to go to school or to his gran's, if I let him.
Today, though, was a good day for the two of us!
I convinced him to be happy, or at least act like he was, about going on a morning walk/bike ride with me. Usually he pouts and starts riding his bike at a turtles pace half-way through, but today he rode speedy quick and didn't complain once!
In return I let him wear a batman mask while he rode and treated him to a cookie at Panera afterwards.
After he ate his cookie and we were leaving Panera, the girl who checked us out gave him an extra cookie--just because!
Oh, how lucky!
Next we went to Penney's where we found a pair of new shoes for him.
That just put him over the edge with happiness!
I took total advantage of his good day and got a ton of my errands done--which meant I got to spend his school time taking a nap!!
It was lovely!
I may just be able to pull him out of that hermit shell of his!
