I have brought a wild man home from West Hartford. Not that we was a wild man the whole trip, he just had such a good busy time that he is NOW a wild man. He refused to sleep on the 2 hour ride home and decided that the second half of dinner would be a good time to try out his screaming technique. He also decided to ratchet up his separation anxiety towards me so that when M went to take his upstairs for a bath, you would have thought that we told C that I had left to be someone else's mom down the street. But this wild behavior is just because he had such a good visit. He played in the amazing new children's section of the West Hartford Public Library (seriously the nicest one I have ever been to) where he made friends with a 2-year old in a tutu dancing on the little baby runway coming out of the puppet theater (yes, this is how cool the library is for kids). Then we got pumpkins and apples with Grandpa, played fire truck racer with Uncle B, literally ran laps in front of family before passing out last night. This morning was even more fun...muffin breakfast with Grandpa, a trip to Westmoor park where C saw his first cow and horse and lots of other animals, on to Fernridge Park (where C ended up bringing half the sandbox into the car...but oh well, that is what dust busters are for). And then the piece de la resistance...playtime with the real doggie and the life size toy doggie "Sandy" that my mom had made for me when I was very little and obsessed with the musical ANNIE! After being home for only a couple of minutes, Matt said,"it really seems like he is better at walking." I think he is too...because he was non-stop all weekend!
