DeeSeeWah!

In Target (where there is plenty of groveries, I might add, including milk) Paul took Anna down the toy aisles while I looked for some new shoes for her. Aisle 1: choo-choo trains and dinosaurs.

Anna: DeeSeeWah! DeeSeeWah!

Paul picks up a moveable dino that also roars and presses the button while Anna tells us something about it being cool but we can't understand. We were debating buying one for her but Paul just got her one at home just like it and she runs from it.

We heard something LARGER with MUSIC right around the corner. We found a massive $129 Super Dino Dragon thing on display! Press the orange button and what a show!

Anna: One more, one more, one more.
Spacedaddy: You like the dinosaur?
Anna: DeeSeeWah! DeeSeeWah!
Spacemama: Just hit the button again, will you?

After like 10 rounds of roar and music, we needed to leave. We were getting hungry. We apparently aren't in the stage of "out of sight out of mind" anymore. As we walked down the remaining aisles, Anna shouted DeeSeeWah! OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER, as we acknowledged and repeated back to her. Finally it occurred to me to tell her that the dinosaur went bye-bye. That seemed to calm her a bit. But she never forgot that thing.
Guaranteed if we paid for that $129 creature, I could place it with me in the kitchen and make dinner without our toddler pulling on my shorts. She would be on the other side of the house.
