Right on Target
I think we’ve probably been spending a little too much time at Target the last few years.
A few weeks ago, as Seth and I went into Target, he fussed about getting into the shopping cart. He wanted to walk. So in order to keep him focused, I asked him to lead me to the pharmacy. He doesn’t know what the pharmacy is really for, but he knows that they give out lollipops there. He was more than happy to lead me there and promptly asked for a sucker. From there, I told him to take me to the cards. He found the card isles. Then I told him we needed paper towels. He led. I would recite something off of my list (which I knew to be at an opposite end of the store) and he would take the lead. We spent an hour in that store to get about 8 items. But he knew where everything was.
Some kids at his age can play the piano. Some kids at his age can print their names. Seth? He can navigate his way around Target.

Dawn is right. Shopping skills = major points with the ladies.
My son actually also knows a wee bit too much about Target. He’s not nearly as skilled as Seth yet, but he does know EXACTLY where the Thomas the Tank Engine toys are, and is always trying to steer us in that direction when I let him walk in the store. Heh.

Can I send Seth with my list? If I go I buy tons of stuff that I don’t need. Maybe if we send him I can save some money…lolo

That is one of the things I miss most about the Midwest, TARGET!!! Oh how I love that store. People here in the Pacific Northwest just don’t fully get it!
