Mom was at work and dad was out of town. This left Auntie for the daycare pick up. I walked in and he looked at me with an unsure expression. As I we buckled up in the car, I told him that Auntie was going to take him to the park. He still didn’t speak to me. As we drove down the street and I waited to turn in, he pointed and said “that one!” with some pep in his voice. Once he realized that Auntie was game for some park adventuring, he was all smiles. We nicknamed a slide the “Silly slide” and it has since stuck. The next daycare pick up day… I was greeted with a happy face and open arms. Nothing better.
