Allow me to explain

At the risk of plagerizing, I am re-posting this picture after Scott's detailed account of our Thomas adventure. When the full blown, overtired, over-stimulated, chain reaction meltdown occured, Sam balled up on the floor in a very uncharacteristic expression of distress. Aidan, also unglued and wanting to do everything Sam does, thought throwing himself on the floor seemed like a good idea.

The punchline here is that there was absolutely nothing wrong with Noah. He walked out, tired and confused, and thought they were having a game. He flopped down too, let out a little simper to lend his support, but couldn't muster up enough anxiety for real tears. You see him above (on the right) checking to see what he is supposed to do next.

That was just the beginning of the week......
