Tonight we learned a big lesson. We went to the zoo for their big Halloween event and braved the hordes (thank goodness for the stroller) with some other families we know. When we arrived at the carousel, everyone eagerly got in line, except us. Weren't we taking Little Omi? they asked. Oh, nah, we replied. We'll just stay behind and watch all the strollers. We were sure Little Omi would cry or get scared or just not be up to it for some reason. Where we ever came up with that idea, I'll never know, because as soon as the others stepped onto the platform, Little Omi started to wail. Was she just tired? Overstimulated? No, as the others got off and we went to play in the adjoining playground, it became clearer and clearer that all Little Omi wanted to do was ride that carousel.
So we took her, and she loved it. I think she would have stayed on forever if we had had enough tokens. And we could have watched her forever, with that look of wonder on her face.
This marked the first time she told us she wanted to do something she had never experienced before. (Or at least the first time we got it!)
