"Go home. Watch Elmo."?

"Go home. Watch Elmo."

Happens every time these days.

We'll spend nearly an hour at the park.

He's completely preoccupied with:

  • Swinging
  • People-watching
  • Snacking and walking

Then, suddenly, he's ready.

Ready to go home, sit on the couch, and demand that we turn on Sesame Street so that he can see his best imaginary friend, Elmo, again.

It's adorable at first. It's annoying on the ride home. It's nice to have 22 minutes to get other stuff done.

It will probably be something else once he turns *three*.
