If you give Naomi her baby doll...

If you give Naomi her baby doll, she'll ask for her stroller. Once she finds her stroller, she'll want a purse to play with. And it won't be any old purse, she'll want my Coach purse. And when she has those things, she'll pretend to go shopping, but she'll remember that it's more fun to do the real thing so she'll ask to go to Trader Joe's. And if you take her to Trader Joe's, she'll ask you to buy some grapes. And as you are picking out the grapes, she'll notice the blackberries and ask for those too. Once you return to the cart, she'll want to hold them (because she wants to be in control). Looking at the blackberries, it'll remind her of her favorite dried fruit, cranberries. Then she'll want to get some of those. So you get her a pack of cranberries. The cranberries will look so good that she just can't wait to eat them, so she'll tell you she's hungry. You'll ask her what she would like to eat and after some "hmmmm"ing, she'll remember how much she loves edamame. So of course, she says, "Edamame." So you go over to the frozen section and pick out a pack of edamame. And naturally, she'll want to hold them. But since they are cold and Naomi does not like the cold, she'll give them back and say, "Too cold, mommy. You hold it." So you put it in the cart. This will remind her that there are other things back there. She'll turn her head and see the loaf of bread, which reminds her that she wants a snack. "Bread! Mommy, Naomi eat bread." You'll tell her to wait until you pay for it, so you rush and get in line. In line, she'll see the cashier and remember that she can ask for stickers. When it's your turn to pay, she'll say, "Stickers please." The cashier will think that Naomi is so cute and give her 20 stickers! Naomi is delighted. She'll say, "Thank you!" and be distracted by them for a while. When you get to the car, she'll remember that she wants the bread. So you give her some. The bread will taste so good, she'll ask for more when she's done. When you finally get her strapped in her car seat, she'll automatically demand to listen to songs. And if you play songs for her, she'll tell you to sing as well. And when the song is through, she'll want it "again" so you leave the song on repeat. And once you get home, she'll think of her baby doll. So she'll go looking for it. As she's looking for it, she'll see her stroller. Her stroller will remind her that she likes to go shopping at Trader Joe's. And that will make her run up to me and say, "Naomi go to Trader Joe's?"
