Alex should wind up in Public Relations. He totally has the hide of a rhino when it comes to dealing with unpleasant acting children. The other day, the gym babysitters' daughter (age 3) was in the playroom with him and running to every toy or attraction he approached, declaring 'NO!' and body blocking him from touching it. Alex shrieked with laughter everytime she did it, thinking it was this big ol' game she was playing. He was delighted. (I spoke to her and told her that he needs to be able to play with something.)
By the time I was leaving the gym an hour later, I packed up an excited, still happy Alex and the little girl jumped in front of the carriage declaring 'NO!' - meaning I was not to take Alex away. Her mom explained that I had to go home. She said 'I want to go home with him!'
Boy did HE turn that situation around or what?
