Sep. 22nd, 2006 08:48 amAnna knocked on my door at 7:30 last night asking if Dominic and I wanted to go for a walk with her, Bill, and Jacob. I rushed to put on my shoes and out the door we went. Jacob was asleep within minutes, but there was just too much for Dominic to see that he couldn't settle down. He sits way up on the edge of the stroller seat (as far as the belt will allow anyway) and tries to take it all in. Near the end of the walk he started to sit back a bit and mellow out. But cars kept passing and every time he was up in a flash, turned around backwards with his head hanging out the side of the stroller to watch the retreating tail lights.
He's beginning to demand his independence. I'm glad I held him constantly when he was a newborn. I knew it wouldn't last forever and I relished every minute. He won't let me do it now. When I pick him up from Marsha's, he's always in her arms. He grins when he sees me, but he won't let me hold him. When I pick him up to leave he pushes against me with his arms and legs. I have to hold him so he faces out just to keep him from pushing himself right out of my arms. He throws a full-blown temper tantrum when we leave her house. I'm glad he likes it there so much, but I would be lying if I said my feelings weren't hurt.
I'm one level away from reaching level 75 in Psychonauts. I think there may be enough leftover figments in "The Milkman Conspiracy" to push me to that level.
