So, I thought I'd better write this little story before I forgot about it.
A month or two ago, we had a little outing to Nordstrom. We really don't go that often, maybe 2-3 times a year. We had a gift certificate and thought we'd let Reecey get some new church shoes. I'll have to find the picture, but Reece knew exactly what she wanted. She had such a great time...her and Sam love the fish tank in the kid's department! They learned about puffer fish from the show "Wild Kratts," and had all the kids in the store calling the puffer "Goffa," because that's what the name of the puffer fish was on the show. Sam & Reece both had just earned some money, and were all excited because they used there own money and bought sugar cookies and pink soda at the Nordstrom Cafe. Keep in mind that everyone who works there is so nice to these two kids...treating them like they were little rock stars.
Anyway, about a week later a friend invited Shawn & Sam to the Jimmer All-Star game in Provo. Shawn isn't the most alert driver after about 9pm, so I volunteered to drive down with them and take the girls to the mall until the game ended. All Reece wanted to do was be in Nordstrom, trying all of the ladies headbands and hats. She loves looking at the girl clothes and jewelery. We are in such trouble!
A few days later we were having a hard time getting Reece to go sleep (not a new thing). But after about 30 minutes or so of quiet we thought she had finally fallen asleep. NOPE! Out she comes in her favorite pink cupcake nightgown and her sparklely shoes and heads for the garage door.
Me, "Reece, where are you going?"
Reece, "Mom, I've got to go, we need to get into the car."
Me, "Reece, it's time for bed now."
R, "But Mom, I've got to go."
M, "Got to go where?"
R, "Nordstrom, right now Mom."
M, "What are you talking about Reece, why do you need to go to Nordstrom?"
R, "I need to go buy that headband so it will match my nightgown, Mom hurry we need to go."
M, "Reece, we can't go to Nordstrom tonight, it's time for bed."
R, "We have too! I need the headband to match my nightgown!"
M, "Reecey, Nordstrom is closed. You need to go to bed now, we are not going to Nordstrom."
R, "Mom, Nordstrom isn't closed!"
M, "I promise Reece, it's closed. Now get to bed!"
Reece with a Sad and disapointed look on her face, "Okay mom, I'll go to bed."
Shawn and I were laughing for like five minutes. Not sure if we were laughing because it was funny, or because we were so scared about her obsession with Nordstrom.
