Accalia just seems to be having a harder day than usual. Maybe she's tired or maybe she's catching the cold that Cory has. Accalia asked to go to Peek A Boo Boutique (childrens' consignment store), so we headed downtown to do that. After hanging out there for a while, we walked around and went into The Vineyard, a new Christian book/gift store. The Vineyard has a huge childrens' area with benches, chairs, tables, cushions, toys and videos. The owner asked if Accalia wanted to watch the latest VeggieTales movie and Accalia said yes. She watched about half of it - VeggieTales usually doesn't hold her attention for long. By the time the video was over, Accalia was ready to go but not ready. She wanted a sticker book, but there wasn't really anything there that she was looking for. She ended up having a bit of a meltdown and dissolved into tears with those really heart wrenching gulping cries. I'm sure we'll go back again and hopefully have a better ending there. The owner said they want to start a storytime and craft time. Not sure whether Accalia will be interested in that or not. She's getting psyched up for us signing up for storytime at the library next week.
