Boredom = Whines

It seems as though our boys whine and are cranky only when they are completely bored out of their minds.
This isn't the biggest revelation in the world but we seemed to have come to this conclusion during our july 4th festivities. For the 4th, my friend Adam (adam and I became friends when I worked with him on the ABC series 6 Degrees this past fall) and his wife Jeannie invited us to their house for a day of food, drinks and many many many little kids :-). If we did not have kids...I would certainly have felt out of place and uncomfortable. We arrived mid afternoon and the party was already under way...the food was great, drinks were good, and their friends and family were inviting and great to hang out and talk with. The boys seemed to have a great time meeting a bunch of new people...they were on their best behavior...no crying, whining or fussing.
However, if we were home, hanging out by ourselves I have a feeling there would have been a touch more vocal notification from them, wanting attention. For most of the time, we had them in their baby bjorns facing out to everyone...this was able to free our hands for beverages and food, and at the same time...include them in all of our conversations :-)

So it seems to us, they really enjoy socializing, and were very attentive to all things happening around them. no crankiness at all. It made the day very comfortable and relaxing. Our goal i suppose now is to go out to parties as often as possible? This way the boys will always be on their best behavior and will come home and crash! IDEAL RIGHT?
