Do not be fooled, the father of your child will regress and exhibit childlike tendencies with regular frequency.
Case-in-point: While we were on our brief vacation to Indy and St. Louis last week Tommy had two distinct moments that made me wonder if his birth certificate was accurate.
The Indianapolis Zoo is really nice and they have several exhibits that our zoo does not have so we enjoyed the new animal adventures. Tommy especially enjoyed the interactive shark tank; he enjoyed it so much that his entire sleeve on his right arm was soaking wet for the remainder of our visit.
When we arrived in St. Louis, we immediately stopped at the Arch. It's right next to the highway, so why not (don't you just love transportation planners)? The line into the visitor's center was pretty long so we just spent a few moments outside and then wandered over to the Laclede's Landing to explore a little (read = visit a brewery). The entrance to Laclede's Landing is "underneath" the Eads Bridge which has a Metro light rail line running on it. As we were leaving, the train was pulling up to the platform above us and Tommy took off running with the stroller to get in the elevator so that Steven could see the train. Really? he's seen trains before. It is completely unncessary to risk our safety running across the street and rushing through the station to get to see a light rail train for five seconds. We get enough choo choo watching Thomas on PBS.
Sorry, honey, I really do love your sense of wonder and excitement when it comes to adventures with our kids but sometimes I have to just shrug my shoulders!
