Gotcha Grampy!

Quinn's Nana and Grampy are here for a visit from Nova Scotia. Yesterday afternoon we were all in the living room and Grampy said "come over and give me a hug, Quinn". Quinn toddled over to Grampy with a big smile and gave him a hug that lit up his whole day. Then we said "go give Nana a hug" and he repeated the exercise back across the room towards Nana, to similar effect.

Then they said "go give Grampy a hug" again. He started off towards Grampy again with hands out and eyes lit up. Grampy was all lit up in anticipation. Then at the last second Quinn veered off in another direction, seemingly with a twinkle in his eye. Everyone had a good laugh. In his own way perhaps Quinn was stating that while he can follow instructions, he's not a trained seal. You can only go to the well so often. Something for us to keep in mind as we all get older I think.
