A trip to Target w/o Babywearing

So in my most brilliant move ever, I put my wraps and mei tais (I don't have a big stash) in the washer to get ready for an upcoming trip and then realized I had nothing to wear Benny in for shopping at Target.
No problem, he's 16 months old. I'll just put him in the shopping cart.
Ughhh!!! It was not a pleasant experience. Benny wasn't too thrilled to be in the cart and I wasn't too thrilled as I put him in. He is usually very happy to ride on my back for a long time at the store, but it wasn't long before he started acting up and making yelling noises the likes of which he has never done before. I just had an overall icky feeling about the whole experience.

Then, the cutest thing happened when we got home. Benny found a ringsling that I hadn't used in so long that I had actually failed to think to use it for our shopping trip. He brought it to me and wanted to be worn. He's never done that before! So we cuddled up and nursed. I loved it.
