Olivia has some kind of weird bond with my Aunt D.
Every time Olivia sees her walk in/out of the door, she screams at the top of her lungs until she gets some lovin'.
So this afternoon my aunt heads out the door just to go to the store across the street and Olivia starts hollerin' "I WANNA GO!!!! ME! I GO TOO!!" So D takes her with. (No stroller!! What a brave woman...) Walking around, you'd never known there was an almost 2 yr old in the store. She behaved like a big girl and didn't grab at things walking through the aisles. Candy aisle; nothing... Cookie aisle; silence...Potato chips, soda, cereal; not a sound. WOW!!! Olivia is just astounding Aunt D with her behavior!
As they pass the refrigerated section, something catches Olivia's eye. She stops dead in her tracks and here it comes- the tantrum- she found something she wants...."CHEEECKUUNNN!!!!" Dumbfounded, Aunt D takes out a box of frozen chicken & Olivia stops crying. Noticing that the box is partially open & torn, she puts the box back & Olivia starts screaming at the top of her lungs"NOOO!!!!! MINE!! MINE!! MIIIINNNNEE!!!" Aunt D takes out another box & hands it to Olivia.
The battle is won. Olivia happily carries her box of chicken through the store to check out.
Awesome.
