Never tell your two year old child your plan for the day! Last Saturday, I woke Claire asking her if she wanted to go see an elephant and feed him apples. She was so excited. She took her bath and got dressed without any fuss. She was dancing and singing madeup elephant songs. When we got to the Science Spectrum, the elephant was not outside. When I inquired about the elephant, they said it was too cold for him to come out, but they would bring him out at 12:30. We got there at 11:00. We waited, no elephant. We waited another hour, no elephant. By this time, it was past time for a nap, so we needed to leave. I won't blog about what happened next. I will say my angel girl was not so angelic! She fell asleep in the car. She woke up a little when I was getting her out of the car and said, "Elephant" in the most sad voice.
Lesson learned! Next time I have a big event planned, I am going to make it a surprise. Then, if it doesn't work out, my poor baby won't be heartbroken!
