As we made our way from the van to Target, Melissa held Katie's hand, which Katie understands is what we do to keep her safe from "cars bumping into her." She saw a family ahead of us in the parking lot, and the youngest of the children appeared to be around 16. She noticed and exclaimed that they were not all holding hands. She then verbally processed that information, noting aloud that when people are grownups, they don't have to hold hands in the parking lot.

Yes, she did acquire another LPS animal combo on this Target trip. This time, we bought her the puppy and duck in a rowboat.

Katie is cracking herself up making up her own lyrics to childrens songs. She giggled when she performed Itsy-Bitsy Spider for me by dropping the first letter from each word in the song.
