Its basically you and your wife going to the zoo dragging a kid around because you have to or you cant really go out. Isnt that the basic deal?

The basic deal is that we involve our son with as much of our lives as possible. We're not "dragging" him around. He's very interactive with everything we involve him with. You may think that every 10 month old is the same, but this isn't the case. I'm sure other parents could and would say the same.
It's not a matter of dragging him around because we can't go out of find a sitter. We have plenty of options for people to take care of the little guy, if we need to do something.
We have a cat, and we have taught our son to pet the cat and be gentle. He likes watching the cat and gets a big kick out of it. So when I say that we're going to take our son to the Zoo to see the animals, I REALLY mean it. He won't be sleeping. He'll be pulling himself up to see the animals and giggling and having a great time seeing them.
Sorry Locke...not all babies
JUST sleep, poop and do nothing else.
