We took a little trip to Pittsburgh for the weekend. Little dude did pretty well over all, though he chose to test my patience once or twice. Saturday we took him to one of my favorite places in the whole world when I was his age: the Carnegie Science Center. My grandma (his GG) used to take me there whenever we went to Pittsburgh to visit other family. As I expected, the kiddo was in his element. All of the hands-on things to play with had him excited and he even ignored some of the things that would have typically set him off. He even went through a submarine (which required him to walk over grates where you could see the floor below-- something that scares the daylights out of him) and found a way to face his fears. After stopping off for a wonderful dinner on the way home, we all piled on the couch to watch Tangled before bed.
Today we went to several places for Christy to look at possible puppies to adopt. She has decided she isn't 100% committed yet, but wanted to get a sense for what her options are. I was proud of the kid for how well he did when he was having a difficult time with a very loud dog room at the Humane Society. He got upset and shouted to me (so I could hear him over the noise) but didn't scream or throw a tantrum. I forgot to take his little earmuff things, and that was my bad. I felt horrible that I had spaced on bringing them, even after having earlier mentioned to Christy that it would be a good idea if I did. Oh well, he was a trooper!
Now we have made it home and the cold I was starting to get when we arrived in Pittsburgh is now full-blown. I'm glad we came back before I got too bad, because now I can't breathe and I have a headache, sore throat: the works. Off to bed I go...
