Sage: a new friend

Alex completed his two-day New Year's tour of the Mid Atlantic today. After a successful visit to Philly yesterday, it was up to Connecticut today.

After taking in the beautiful sites of the Merritt Parkway, we reached the friendly home of Emily and Jeff and their 21-month old daughter Sage. Sage is the first person Alex has met who is remotely close to his age, and he developed an instant crush. He was so interested in looking good for the lovely Sage, that he spent nearly four-hour of our visit without crying or showing signs of loss-of-control.

All of the adults seemed to be very impressed with his good behavior. Sage, on the other hand, was pretty underwhelmed. But she was certainly up for a cute photo-op.
