This evening Arden and I headed to the mall to get out of the house for a little while. We just walked through looking at things and she loved watching the dancing water fountain. When the water was high Arden would stand up and when it would go really low she would bend down.
We then went to Pottery Barn Kids so she could play with the toys in there for a little while...which just happens to be one of her favorite things to do at the mall. While we were there she found a shopping cart and a baby. She put the baby in the shopping card and pushed it around looking at various things in the store.
After about 10 minutes a little girl came in and she was very quiet and was playing near Arden with a baby stroller. The little girl saw the baby in Arden's cart and said to nobody in particular "I would like a baby." She was about 15-20 feet from Arden. I just sat there and watch Arden play.
Arden then takes the baby out of her cart and walks over to the little girl and puts the baby in the stroller and says "There you go."
It was such a proud moment as a parent to watch your child share with a stranger without being prompted. The little girl was with her grandmother and she was shocked that Arden shared without even being asked. She (the grandmother) kept thanking Arden over and over again.
Arden then waved bye to the girl and went and found something else to play with and we left a few minutes later. I must say that I just had to brag on my girl because I am very proud of her.
