Today’s trip to the YMCA did not go nearly as well as yesterday’s. I had been on the elliptical machine for all of 10 minutes when the nice girl (Miss Amanda) that was working in the children’s room came to get me. She said Adam had been crying since I left and she wasn’t able to calm him down (and neither was her supervisor or the well meaning mom of three that ended up with a shoulder covered in baby snot for her efforts).

So I went down and the poor kid was a wreck. I hung out with him in the children’s room for about half an hour. We played with the toys and I even got him to interact with Miss Amanda a little, but any time I would stand up or the door would open (even if I was sitting right next to him) he would start crying again. So we’ll try again tomorrow. The lady working tomorrow is the same one that was there yesterday, so maybe that will help.

Yes, I know the picture has absolutely nothing to do with this post. I don’t have a picture of him screaming a the Y though, so this is what you get – Adam showing off how he can climb in to his shopping cart (he was dancing and I took the photo with my phone, which is why his arms are blurry).
