Kiddie Acres

Laura and I took Addie and Connor to this toddler sized amusement park today called Kiddie Acres. Connor was NOT interested in the rides at all, but he was interested in the Elmo that Addie brought. As you can see in this picture, Connor "took possession" of Addie's Elmo and kept his Cookie Monster. Sitting in his stroller with Elmo and Cookie is pretty much what Connor did at the park. We tried the merry-go-round twice, but he refused to sit on the horse...and Mommy got kind of dizzy. He did sit, with Elmo, on the train that went around the park, but he was kind of pinned in by the side of the car and me so there's not much adventure there. So we decided to leave and went and had lunch with Daddy instead. BUT, on the way home Mommy did stop and buy him his own big Elmo. I had been avoiding buying this particular Elmo for about 6 months. It makes A LOT of noise. I let Connor hold it in the cart, but we never hit any of the buttons that made it talk. Then he accidentally elbowed it and it started to talk. He looked at it like it had just done the most horrible thing. It was hysterical. When I got it home and took it out, it started talking and talking and talking...and he ignored it and played with other things. Then when I turned it off he went over and got it and took it to take a nap with him. Let's hope he continues to like it in the "off" setting!
