find the difference
you remember this game from the highlights magazines when you were little, right?
if they were sneaking things like pokemon cards into the cart, it would be a lot easier to REALLY teach the lesson about asking before we buy things. but, come on....the journals are bee-u-tee-ful! and the "anika picked pink & i picked blue so everyone has a drawing pad all together" from the rational 3 year old is hard to resist.
well, here's our household's version. find the difference between the 2 pictures and that is what the 2 & 3 year old snuck into the cart at target this shopping trip.

so, our lessons sound more like this: "i appreciate that you want a pretty drawing pad & you both got one, but it is very important that we ask mommy before putting it in the cart next time."
and to give them credit, they later saw the dolls with the mega-skimpy clothing on and after asking to bring one home and getting a "we don't really need one of those at home." they replied, "OKAY, mom!" choose your battles, right?! =)
Aww...I can't wait to have these conversations with Emma. :) I must ask...is that an outfit for Lucy at the front? BTW...I love Target but it gets me in trouble every time!
ReplyDeleteyes..for lucy: an outfit and cookie treats with pink icing & sprinkles! =)
ReplyDeletetoo cute, sounds like you choose the right battles.
ReplyDeleteThey weren't BRATZ dolls by chance, were they?
ReplyDelete...they totally shock me with the clothing they put on those things.
