Today was a confusing day for Sam.  On the last day, I opened up his backpack and found......an iPad.  I texted his teacher to find out if Sam swiped it or if she just gives the best end of year gifts EVER!!!  Turns out there was a substitute paraprofessional in the room and she didn't know it wasn't Sam's.  First thing this morning we took it back to school.  When we got there, Sam was ready to do his morning routine and (surprisingly) was not happy when I said we weren't staying.  I bribed him with diet coke to get out of there.  I don't typically do that, but in all honesty, I love a morning McDonald's diet coke myself.  Especially now that they are only a dollar.  The next thing on the agenda was a trip to Jungle Jim's with Grandma.  Grandma also loves a morning McDonald's diet coke and brought one for each of us.  This is why we had to make a stop at the bathroom the second we hit the store.

Here is the thing.  Sam is not yet able to protect himself enough to go into the men's bathroom alone.  Yet, he is WAY too old to use the ladies room like a pre-schooler.  This is no big deal in new buildings that have "family" restrooms.  Jungle Jim's was built in the 1970's.  The have not caught onto the "family" restroom trend.  I saw the Miller beer guy and asked if he knew where a store employee was so that I could get the bathroom cleared for Sam.  He said, don't worry about it, he would stand watch.  And he did.  Which I'm pretty sure was in no way shape or form part of his job.  That is what made it extra especially nice!

Thank you Miller Brewing company Tim for manning the door.  I hope your company knows what a great employee they have!
