Weekly Visit to Starbucks

Alex and I go to Starbucks every Wednesday.  All the baristas love him and are always giving him cake pops, chocolate chip cookies, and other pastries. Other people that visit that frequent that location, know him already and are always happy to see him. 


I went to Starbucks on Monday without him and there were other kids his age there and I realized just how awesome Alex really is.  These kids were running around, climbing the furniture, playing with the merchandise, and doing whatever they wanted.  Anytime their parents told them to stop, they would just scream or yell no and continue doing what they wanted. 


Alex is no saint.  He has moments when he just won't listen, but 95% of the time, he's great.  When he doesn't listen, it's not that bad.   He just wants to keep ordering stuff he won't eat or drink, or he wants to sit outside, which makes me nervous.  


But most of the time, he orders his own stuff, goes and says hi to everyone there,  hangs out with the baristas, plays with the iPad a little while, and then takes pictures of himself for about 20 minutes.  My iPad photo stream is full of pictures of the ceiling, his forehead, the floor, his cheek, a part of his eye, etc....
