Reunited
Alden went to visit Cannon today for the first time in months. He and his mom returned from an extended trip last weekend, and so we drove over this afternoon to say hello.
At first, Alden wasn't sure what to think of Cannon. He is taller than he used to be.
But as soon as she figured out that he had acquired a set of wheels, she was good to go.
Alden sat in the back while Cannon drove. Basically, he treated her like an overstuffed recliner. But she didn't seem to mind.
Neither did she seem to notice that they were holding up traffic.
When we got to the playground, both seemed loath to get out of the wagon.
But eventually the lure of the slide proved too powerful.
Bored with the slide, they moved on to the swings.
Disenchanted with the swings, they decided to tackle the big kid slide.
To the top.
And down again.
After the excitement of the big kid slide, Alden needed a few moments to sit and collect herself.
Suddenly, she was ready to go. She let us know by going and sitting by herself in the wagon.
I figured that she'd get bored of sitting by herself and would come back to the playground after a few minutes. I was wrong.
It was a good reunion all around. No one got hurt. Polite cheek-peck kisses were exchanged at the end.
Later tonight, Alden threw a total fit right at the top of the stairs. Perhaps she was lovesick?
Or maybe just tired from all the swinging.
