Going to the grocery store by myself with Kennedy and Miles is like herding cattle in a fine china shop that also sells toys and candy! While I tend to lean toward getting groceries on my own, at times it just doesn't work - hence my epiphany moment! To keep Kennedy focussed, I came up with this style of a grocery list. Kennedy can't fully read yet, but she understands numbers and images. I was able to give her ownership in task at hand. Worked brilliantly!! Now if I could only avoid the checkout line of candy, gum and chocolate, then all would be perfect!
