Sure enough, Harry seemed to have a good time at the
birthday party and overnight adventure with his grandparents, thrilled,
no doubt, to have new distractions, places, and toys to explore. At least
that's the report from his grandparents. Harry, when we asked him what he
did at the party, said a coy "nothing." On one occasion he even
responded with a fictional "I didn't" when asked simply whether
he'd had fun at the party, although he had long since conceded that much when
he arrived home.
What's with these cryptic responses? I'd think a two-year-old would be thrilled
to tell his parents all about his new adventures, new life conquests (a long
trip and sleep-over), the toys that cousin Ben received at the party (even
if they weren't Harry's), or anything else about the trip.
"I didn't do anything," he said emphasizing the "any"
with a hint of a grin when jocularly pushed on the issue...must be his mother's
influence..perhaps not.
