morning at the park

yesterday we went to a big park down the road, between our house and eric and colleen's. most days we have a lot of fun, but today was not one of those days. within two minutes sully pooped and we had to do a car diaper change, which is never fun. and then i thought we were in the clear. sully was into playing with his ball and we were running around the basketball court.

and then he got distracted by this tree, and i noticed my arch nemesis in the background...a drinking fountain. sullivan is obsessed with them and a few days before this we had a tantrum meltdown when i took him away from one in the village.

here is the meltdown after i finally gave in and let him splash around in the fountain for a few minutes. he looks up at me with such hopeful eyes and reaches his arms out....i mean, who can resist that?

hurray, something to distract him from the drinking fountain devastation! a sweet man came by with a schnauzer named sammy. i think sullivan really liked petting a dog that was smaller than him. :)

after a few minutes sammy had to leave and you would have thought i had ripped sully's blanket from his hands. he chased after the dog for a few steps before collapsing into a wailing heap in the grass. 'somebody needs a nap,' sammy's owner said. truer words had never been spoken. i collected my weeping lump of baby in my arms and we headed home.
