Two Under Two !

Mum," I've got clinic and shopping ,do you want to come for a run?"
well with three days to Xmas and two under two ........ this ought to be fun.!

So Drive Through for coffee and banana bread on the way
 Fat Nana , Feeding Mama , toddler for newbie's first shopping day.

On the  21 st of December ,one thing's for sure, at the shops we won't be alone !
 shoppers , parkers , retailers too, just make sure you don't leave your  manners at home.

We spot a spare spot and Feeding Mumma parks with lightening speed
to get us all out and set up all in order it's quiet a big deed..

Now straight out of the car , Feeding  Mumma springs into routine
"stand clear Fat Nanna , this new double pram is a complex machine".

So our first Xmas shopping  miracle is one for us to keep
for an hour and a half,   both boys stay  asleep!.

Now Fat Nana's browsing will have to be fast
"you can't stop Mum while the boys are asleep "
I will just have to look as we roll right on past!

The first Fat Nana fail of the day is coming up,  to her folly
she goes for a basket but she is promptly sent back for a
trolley!

We head for the checkout ,  the lines aren't too  bad
Admiring newbie, there's still  smiling customers to be had..

 Newbie is crying so Feeding Mumma  says we're stopping
So we all  fuel up for   more power Xmas  shopping..

Grab cuddle of newbie,  Feeding Mamma chows down at the table
"watch his head Mum!", yes dear   .."Iv'e done this before, I'm really quiet able !"

Toddler is fussing , he wants out for a walk
Mum says "no, not enough lunch" and offers more on the fork.

"Common love , he's been such a good boy and he is only one"
by now he will be ready for a play , stretch and run"

"And he doesn't need lunch , he has had half of mine"
and she shoots me that look that says...' you're outta line!

"Ok Mum , I' will  get him out now  so  have it your way"
"But it's you who will be chasing him for the rest of the day !"

"Watch him very carefully , cause if distracted he might run away"
Yes dear  .."I haven't lost a child yet , well not one of mine anyway!"

So we brave the escalators and for a new floor, a new store
We're hunting for batteries, boys togs and  Bon Bons galore

I whisper to newbie , relaxed on my arm, we have to choose fast
cause once you nod off , she will make us walk past !



Feeding Mumma's with newbie for a feed and a change
 Fat Nana's with toddler , flashing shoes keeping him well within range

Walking now  hand in hand he's found a ride to occupy
happy to sit in the stationary car , making broom noises, he isn't t shy

But Fat Nana unintentionally stuffed up on the last shopping trip
and showed him with money the ride will move and go bip.

So now when they are shopping  and he stops for a ride
 he is quiet well aware that someone needs to put  money inside.

We've all had enough , and can't manage even one more store
with toddler contained , babe in arms, we make break for the door..

Outside the heat is oppressive, Fat Nana's has worked up a sweat
there's the car, shopping  with two under two, we've  not a single regret.

We find the car park is much worse than when we arrived
the circling Xmas park-less drivers would eat you alive ..

Suddenly we realize have a Xmas parker  storker en-route
and he  follows Fat Nana and Feeding Mumma all the way to their boot.

Well all I can say is I hope he's a nice daddy who has patience galore
with Fat Nanna , 2 under 2 and the big pram  to get in the door.

With a very successful shopping trip  behind us , we speed off to the flat
Feeding Mumma's  feeding newbie , toddler got  bottle and Thomas  on the mat.

 Fat Nanna's finally finished carting parcels in  for daughter
 Fat Nana says her goodbyes, needing  a big  sleep and lots of water.
