I took Malachi to Target this morning. We were in search of some toddler bedding and a pillow for the big boy! Malachi is generally very friendly and will speak to almost anyone who looks at him (and some who do not). I was pushing the cart down the main aisle near the bedding section when Malachi began talking to an older gentleman as he walked past us. He told him a "story" about riding a horse and falling down and bumping his head (I have no idea where this came from). This man was so taken with Malachi - he stood in the aisle for a good 5 minutes and interacted with Malachi like he was his grandchild. It was too sweet. He shook Malachi's hand and even rubbed his back - telling Malachi that he was such a good little boy, a blessing even! He introduced himself as Daryl. We finally said our goodbyes. A few minutes later, Malachi said "Where's Uncle Daryl?" I just had to laugh -- and a little while later we ran into Daryl again. This time he had his wife with him. Daryl introduced Malachi to his wife - saying "This is the little boy I was telling you about. Isn't he just precious?" Malachi thought that Daryl's wife (her name is escaping me) looked like Nana :)
