Yesterday the boys and I did our weekly grocery shopping together. They usually go with me and we talk about the choices I make. This week was different because I had them make all the choices themselves, consulting with me as needed. I documented the whole trip on the digital camera and thought I'd share some of the photos here.
We love broccoli!
W chose nuts for a snack instead of the usual crackers. I thought that was a great idea.
J really wanted some kiwi, another family favorite.
And in these two photos J shows us the difference between a bad apple and a good one!
We really had a lot of fun doing the grocery shopping this way and will probably share a lot more in the responsibility of shopping from now on. They learned a lot about price comparison and things like that and I learned that they actually enjoy the shopping trip if they are involved in more than just following me around!
My kids LOVE it when I let them do the choosing. We end up with a buggy full of fruits, veggies, and nuts, and cheese.
ReplyDeleteThat sounds almost exactly like what we ended up with!
