He Dislikes

Swings and the Zoo. Those used to be Ollie's favorites. He now dislikes both. The only thing he enjoyed at the zoo was the goat and llama eating food out of my hand. That was hysterical. The monkeys, sea lions, camels, meerkats (which he loved last time), lion, Rooster and every other animal in the park scared the crap out of him. The rooster flapped his wings, Ollie was scared, the camels walked by, Ollie was scared, the meerkats ran around, Ollie was scared. It was a good waste of $11 for his parents to enter, but Ollie was free. The most fun he had was when we ran into kids from his babysitters. The rest of the time Ollie was more interested in the people, than the animals. That is until they all scared him.

Swings were no exception to scaring the crap out of Ollie. He used to only want to be in the swings. Now, we couldn't get him out fast enough. He wanted to try different swings, but we ended up with him wanting out each time. He did swing slowly for a little while. He also was watching another kid swing, so he was distracted from his own swinging. Pictures, slides/parks, swings and zoo's. All things not to do with Ollie. Maybe in a year or two he'll want to do this stuff again, but for now it is off limits.
