Observation

My sister-in-law and I recently shared the same observation: When you are home and trying to get work done around the house (like make dinner, especially) your kids are starved for your undivided attention. They cling to your pant legs, beg you to hold them, and cry when you don't. BUT those times you want/need to hold them (like walking out to the car in a crowded parking lot or shopping at the grocery store)- they want nothing to do with you. They freak out like little wild beast children when you try to hold them and keep them close.
Why is that?

And on an unrelated note:

Jack wasn't too keen on "Bring Your Baby to School Day"
