Target, Gianni style

The other week we went to target (our favorite store) which is a frequent occurance for us. Usually I am fighting Gianni to stay sitting in the shopping cart and bribing him with a small toy or treat so I can get through my shopping trip without meltdowns.

This particular day we had aunt Nicia with us (who Gianni lovingly calls "yaya") so he had a bit more freedom. So we enter the store and what do I expect? Gianni running rampant through target pulling everything off the shelf and loosing him. What he actually did surprised me.

How to shop Gianni style at target: (1) get a shopping basket (2) run over to the purse section and grab the brightest colored purse he can find. (3) place purse on shoulder (4) hit up the dollar spot, full his basket with toys, socks, etc.

As cute and hilarious as it was to see him copycat what he perceives as a normal shopping trip, I could not get his fingers off that basket or purse for the rest of the shopping trip, which prolonged the experience significantly, but man was it adorable.
