And we ran into the Easter Bunny (Big E)

Tayshaun and I had a day off today so we ran some errands.

We went to a doctor's appointment, lunch and then to the mall.

Tayshaun planted himself on a chair -- he hates to shop -- look at that face.

His new ritual, while shopping, is a carmel apple. Mrs. Fields hasn't seen our faces since the Chocolate Factory found it's way into Fashion Place. He's not fancy -- just carmel please, no snickers, no cookies and cream, no cheesecake carmel, no pecans, nuts or almonds...just plain ole carmel.

We've even switched up malls 'cause Tayshaun bargains for a carmel apple if he goes shopping with me. Fashion Place isn't my favorite mall but if my co-shopper is happy, then I

can get a least a half hour out of him.

This trip we were surprised to find the Easter Bunny visiting. Geez, is it already Easter? Funny and not sure why but Tayshaun was a little apprehensive about going over to say "Hi". At first he didn't even want to talk to him. Santa Claus made a personal visit to Auntie Lisa's house so Tayshaun did visit him in the mall this year...maybe that had something to do with it. Who knows?!

We didn't even actually go up close to Big E until we were ready to leave the mall. The lady attendant kept flirting with Tayshaun trying to entice him by promising him some Easter bunny ears. He still declined but kept watching the lady as we walked away. Just as

we

were ready to walk out of the mall, he changed his mind and ran back to talk to the lady.

And then SNAP! Tayshaun and the Easter Bunny were friends for life.
