At the end of the food aisle is the frozen food section. Picture Lots of freezers with the see-through glass. And they are dark. Target is "green" and doesn't have the freezer lights on all the time. But Tanner notices that if he walks in front of them - the lights magically turn on. He starts slowly, testing his "powers". Every time he steps into an aisle half of the lights brighten the cases of food. He steps further into the aisle and the remaining freezers are illuminated. He holds out his arms as if they have the power of Moses' staff or Harry Potter's wand. Luckily, we were the only ones in that corner of the store and he was able to light up the entire section. He was incredibly excited. I was laughing. I was wishing I could somehow take a picture of the whole experience.
As we walked toward the registers to pay for his new shoes, he talked about his super powers. I felt kind of like a kid walking out of an elevator, having pushed all the buttons.

That is hilarious! Must be the age. Chris, 4, is into his "powers" of opening automatic doors. He'll run up to them, jump on the mat, make some magician movement with his hands, and say, "Power!" It's very funny.
I love it. I wish I could have seen how excited he was at using his powers!
That is fabulous! I can just imagine his face, would have loved to see it!
Wouldn't it be nice if we could always keep that wonder at our powers!
That is so cute! I can almost picture that whole experience. Our boys always did the automatic doors, too. They always said, "Open Sesame!" in weird voices. They still do, despite their age!
