I think after today, I am all about internet shopping. Our little family woke up early this morning and headed out to Walmart for groceries for the week. This was quite a challenge for Tessa. She just doesn't find the seat of a shopping cart a thrill ride anymore (those were the days). Most of Walmart was obviously boring to her. Unless you count the bread aisle where she managed to squeeze two loaves of bread into a lumpy pulp before we caught her. And then the lobster tank brought forth squeals of delight that quickly escalated into shrill screams so that other shoppers looked at us with shocked expressions.
But the grandest of all was the $280 "pony" they had set up at the end of one of the toy aisles. This pony, when stroked in a sensory-zone, will swish it's tail, neigh, chew, and even turn it's head and neck to look back at you and blink. It's about 3 feet tall. This pony brought forth every emotional reaction Tessa has ever expressed in all her 21 months. EVERY one of them.
She is currently passed out in exhaustion upstairs (hopefully for at least 2 hours). And I am about to do the same.
