Free

Adam and I think we should add a column to our blog titled: Grant's Free Item of the Week. Why you ask? Because Grant has a way of getting whatever he wants from pretty much everyone he meets. Here are a few examples:


* The other day as we walked into the bank there was a man selling flowers. We politely declined and continued to walk into the bank. When we came out, Grant was waving and blowing kisses. Then he acted like he was smelling the flowers. The man motioned us over and handed Grant 9 gerber daisies. The nice man said, "Free! For baby...free!" I told him we couldn't accept but he kept insisting. Grant loves the flowers!
* One day in Costco Grant was playing with a man behind us. Grant noticed the man had grapes and said, "Grapes!" So, the nice man opened the grapes and gave some to Grant. Now when we go to Costco, Grant checks out other peoples baskets--who knows what other yummy things he will find.

* Grant loves balloons! Costco had some balloons up by the cash registers and Grant kept pointing and saying, "Noon!" There were a few different kids in front of us and they would ask the cashier for a balloon but the cashier would politey say that they were for decoration. When we got up there to pay, Grant would smile and say, "Noon!" The cashiers thought he was so cute and before I knew it Grant had not one but two balloons.

* We like to shop at a little produce store that makes us feel like we are in Mexico. It is awesome! Grant especially loves the music in Spanish. He jams out everytime we are in there. Anyway, one day he grabbed a plum when I turned my back for seriously 1 second! When we went up to pay I had another plum and asked the man to charge me for it and then to keep it since Grant had already started to eat one. The man asked if Grant liked plums. I said he did and then the man said he would be right back. He came back with a bag of plums. I explained that we did not need plums and that we would just pay for the one. He handed me the bag and said they were free. "For the baby! Plums! Free!" What could I say besides, "Gracias!"


So pretty much Grant is going to think that if he flashes his cute smile and bats his big, blue eyes then he can get anything. Do you think he could get us a free couch or tv?

That is too hilarious! He is such a friendly little guy. I say you go to a furniture store and see what you come out with! :)

That is really funny. I hope we can get free stuff with our little Tate! All I know is that I would give Grant anything he wanted if he asked!

The funny thing is that he really is THAT cute! If he proposed to Hadlie right now, she'd say yes and never cast her eyes on another boy again. :)
