We're back home, a day or two earlier than we had planned. Some friends of ours had generously given us the use of their cottage in the Adirondacks. A beautiful summer place on a lake, rustic charm with all mod cons.
Problem was, our son (23 months old) was being eaten alive by bugs. Poor little guy! We had sorely misled him: we had given him books and toys and even a video which told him the bugs were his friends. This week he discovered otherwise. Bugs are not the cute and cuddly creatures he had been led to expect: they swarm, and they bite, and they draw blood.
Then there was the very beautiful wraparound deck: not only not child-friendly, but worse than unchild-friendly: a veritable toddler death trap.
So we're back in the city, where I guess we belong.
