The friendly cashiers had grown familiar with the sight of her and her super cute son, and couldn’t help but greet them with a playful cheer, “Little Logan, out with Mommy for streats today?” “No treats today,” Logan declared, imitating the grown-ups with a shake of his head, “Mom says we're having a family fondue night!” The bunch of them showered Logan with praise, chuckling at his antics.
