This picture is so precious to me. It was taken on a late night outing to Target. There were hardly any cars in the parking lot when we came out - it was pretty much a wide open space. You may not know this, but Levi is fascinated with shopping carts. He pushes them in the store, which can be interesting with him bumping things from time to time. Upon arriving at a store we have to prepare him in the car or, in his excitement to get a cart, he will jump out before we're ready to be right with him. His favorite part is probably the returning of the cart. He loves taking them back to the designated areas and straightening them all up.
On this night he took the cart back and noticed an employee with a machine gathering up carts. It was such a crazy busy day, but we all stood there watching with him in an unhurried sort of way. We were giving him the opportunity to take in what was happening, enjoy himself, and learn in the process. The light blinked on and off as the employee made stop after stop in the parking lot to gather the carts. Levi was mesmerized as he watched what was happening. The train of carts grew after each stop and finally passed right by us on the way back into the store. What a blessing to bring everything to a screeching halt and enjoy the moment.
