Anyone who has spent time with Garrett knows that he moves at his own pace. This pace of his is usually slower than the rest of the family. The main reason for his label "the delay fish" is his extreme curiosity about how things work, the second is his need to sleep a lot more then the other two. It will be no surprise to you that "Garrett and guided tour" are not always compatable nouns. For example, he is extremely curious about the water features that are typical in the Mughal architecture we have seen all week. Basically, the square gardens are divided by a network of small channels that feed into pools and fountains in the center. Garrett and I have explored in-depth the water channels at each site we have visited. He is also operates in two modes: happy and affectionate to anyone he meets OR cranky and fussy. Every stop is a turn of the roulette wheel and we can not predict which Garrett will show up. I am determined to NOT be the parent who yells at her kids on vacation, so I usually hang back with him until his exploration is over and then we catch up with the others.
