After Linda trimmed my hair today (it looks a lot better now), and Elmo gave me lots of I'm-glad-to-see-you doggy kisses, she and I went out for lunch.  

Afterward we picked up Zahn and brought him back to her house for the rest of the day, and blew bubbles in the backyard before he was 'willing' to have his lunch.  He is definitely strong-willed, though no doubt it doesn't help <g> that he's still 2.  Maybe when he turns 3 next month it'll get easier for Linda? 

I don't know how Linda does it... I certainly don't have that kind of energy any more!  In fact when I got home I opted for a horizontal pause...
