Tage and I got home from Stockholm on Saturday afternoon, to no-one’s greater relief than Tage’s own. He loved the planes, trains, and automobiles, but when we weren’t actually in the act of travel, his most oft-repeated words were, “I want to go home,” “I want to go to Daddy,” “I want to go to Lydia,” and every two-year-old’s favorite, “No!” It didn’t occur to me until we were already at Leslie’s house that the only other times he has ever traveled away from home we all four went as a family.
