In fact, one of my son's first real tantrums last year was in the Target toy aisle! #lesson learned #proud parent</p> <p>But yesterday, I thought I was a safe distance away from the toys, but DS somehow managed to recognize the Play Doh logo and have a fit anyway, so that was fun. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-try-to-avoid-the-toy-aisle#post-2351157 Tue, 10 Nov 2015 15:42:44 +0000 kodybear 2351157@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>we usually go down the toy aisle last so they can play for awhile. our oldest is good about leaving. she'll most definitely ask us to buy her toys but we'll tell her she has to wait til her bday or christmas and she'll put it back without a fight. hopefully it stays this way! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-try-to-avoid-the-toy-aisle#post-2351136 Tue, 10 Nov 2015 15:34:45 +0000 Rockies11 2351136@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We always go down! I let her play for a bit, and then she puts the toys back with their toy friends. I like to do it because I am always on the look-out for new things that she's interested in. I buy almost everything used after she's expressed an interest in it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-try-to-avoid-the-toy-aisle#post-2351108 Tue, 10 Nov 2015 15:26:09 +0000 fancyfunction 2351108@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We look but she doesn't pester me for anything, which is good. She knows we're just looking. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-try-to-avoid-the-toy-aisle#post-2351065 Tue, 10 Nov 2015 15:09:51 +0000 mrsjyw 2351065@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, we always go by the aisle! DS plays for a minute, I enjoy my cup of coffee... He's usually good about leaving. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-try-to-avoid-the-toy-aisle#post-2351000 Tue, 10 Nov 2015 14:48:57 +0000 mauxie 2351000@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, we make it a point to go and see things quickly and not buy! Or, buy something for someone else. DD does very well with it. DS (19 mo) sometimes gets upset when we make him leave whatever he's holding in the aisle, but he'll learn! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-try-to-avoid-the-toy-aisle#post-2350998 Tue, 10 Nov 2015 14:48:06 +0000 LuLu Mom 2350998@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>All the time! Otherwise it's "oooh I want that" and "mommy I need this!" Lately I've been able to say "we will have to tell Santa" but it's only going to work so long. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-try-to-avoid-the-toy-aisle#post-2350997 Tue, 10 Nov 2015 14:47:33 +0000 sorrycharlie 2350997@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We actually make a point to go down them, it's how I get through the rest of my shopping… By promising her she can look at the toys! She know she can't get anything, though, so it works </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-try-to-avoid-the-toy-aisle#post-2350994 Tue, 10 Nov 2015 14:46:47 +0000 mediagirl 2350994@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ugh. I accidentally went down the main toy aisle at Target the other day. Shoot me. Instant tantrum when I wouldn't let my 3 year old get out and play. Avoid, avoid, avoid! </p>
