Yesterday Sarah and Titus came with me to the company picnic. Titus had a grand time running around in between people, smiling up at them, and then running back to me when he got a little frightened so that I could pick him up.
One time when Titus was running around, he must have wandered a little farther away from me than he had planned, because he turned around and looked a little panicked when he couldn’t see my sandals and khaki shorts. Finally he spotted the shorts and sandals, ran up to them, and started bouncing up and down (his new way of asking to be picked up). So the guy picked him up. Titus looked back at the people he had been running from and grinned. Then he glanced back at the person who was holding him, noticed that it wasn’t his dad, and got a pretty serious look on his face!
I have to say, Titus did pretty well to not start crying on the spot, but he was a bit anxious to get back to me once he was on a level with everyone’s face.
Otherwise, Titus had a good time at the picnic, with plenty of people saying hi to him and entertaining him. In fact, I think Titus may have introduced me to a few coworkers that I hadn’t really met before!
That’s so cute! I suppose that you’ll have to start wearing some stylin’ plaid shorts and Converse shoes so that you’ll really be separated from the rest, Andy. Then Titus really wouldn’t get confused. . . blinded by the color scheme, maybe, but at least he’d know where his dad was!
Too funny! Kids are hillarious. Makes a Daddy and Mommy so happy, too, when we are their whole world and all they really want is us! 🙂
