Mama had the day off so it was adventure time for Mama, Chase and Nanaw. First stop was Clayton Laptime, where Chase was his usual social, vocal self. Miss Jeannie called Mama, Chase and Nanaw the Chase group. During the story and song part of Laptime, Chase sat on Mama’s lap a little bit but mostly sat on Nanaw’s lap like he was used to. After each story or song, Chase clapped his hands and yelled "Yay!" loudly. Chase seemed to have fun playing with a little girl named Gretchen and a panda bear puppet that comes to every Laptime. After Laptime, it was shopping time. First was Bed, Bath and Beyond for a draining meat loaf pan for Nanaw and candles for Mama and Nanaw. Another store visited was Five Below, where Mama bought Chase an Elmo Lego toy. Next they went to the Galleria mall where they had lunch at Saint Louis Bread Company. Then Nanaw bought Chanel #5 cologne at Macy’s. On the way home, they went exploring to find the Transportation Museum. Then they found an Office Depot where Mama bought the clips for her cube. She went into the Once Upon a Child store next door and bought two books, a shirt and khakis for Chase. Next was PetSmart where Mama bought treats and a Halloween toy for Sam, and Babys R Us¸ where one of Mama’s purchases was an Elmo puppet book for Chase. All in all, it was a busy, happy day.
