Puppy action
Maybe not up to Cute Overload standards, but pretty cute nonetheless... Linc in his puppy outfit:
He enjoyed the Boo at the Zoo immensely. We rode the train and carousel twice each, and he did great in the fairly long lines (to their credit, the zoo was pretty wonderful about moving things along quickly... they had three trains running simultaneously!). He didn't really figure out the whole gathering-candy thing, and I didn't do anything to change that. He did manage to accidentally obtain a couple crunch bars and a Tootsie Pop, and seemed overjoyed to have them. He said "thanks you" to the zoo folks helping out on the rides, usually unprompted. He patiently took his turn at several activities without pushing or rushing... in fact, several kids cut in front of him and he took it in stride.
He also tried to help out a couple of overstimulated wailing kids (his efforts were rebuffed, sometimes by the parent?!, but I was glad to see him at least try... he's got a bit of compassion in him, which you don't always see in a four-year-old), and ran up to play with a bunch of other kids... not shy at all.
Yep, it looks like we've got another anti-social, maladjusted, isolated homeschooler kid on our hands.
