Henry Loves Target

A few weeks ago I took Henry to Target. As soon as we got there, he started asking to go home. To keep him interested, I told him that we'd look at Thomas stuff. We spent quite a bit of time in the Thomas aisle, and of course, ended up buying a train. So, over the weekend, we went grocery shopping at Safeway and had the following conversation as we got out of the car:

Me: We're going into the store now.
Henry: Yeah, we going Target.
Me: No, we're not going to Target today. We're going to the grocery store to buy food.
Henry: Yeah, and Thomas stuff.
Me: They don't have Thomas stuff here. They just have food.
Henry: How 'bout Thomas stuff?
Me: We're going to buy food and then we're going home.
Henry (with a big smile): And THEN we're going to Target.

Nope. Sorry, Buddy!

The other morning I had to wake Henry from a dead sleep to get him ready for daycare. As I put on his jacket so we could leave, we had this conversation:

Me: Let's go bye-bye now.
Henry: Yeah. Let's go Target!
Me: Well, maybe later we can go to Target. Right now we're going to Tamara's house.
Henry: And THEN Target.
Me: Maybe we'll go to Target this afternoon.

We drove to Tamara's house, and as I was kissing him good-bye...

Me: I love you. See you later, Buddy. Mommy will pick you up after your nap.
Henry: Then we go Target, buy Thomas stuff!
Tamara: I guess you're going to Target today!
