Anne's newest odd habit

So Anne has always been more of an introvert and a homebody. Just like her mama. She's just like me in that when she's around other people she's a ham and totally sociable but when she's alone she's able to play well and get re-energized. She's also like me in that she enjoys going out and doing things but she's also a true homebody. I'm probably less of a homebody than she is but I think I am secretly one none the less.

The past week or so though she's been quite odd about it. Now whenever we go out anyway, first of all, when we tell her we are going out, she says she doesn't want to do it. Even if it's a favorite activity. Secondly once we get out and start to do it, within a few minutes, she says that she wants to go home. It's a little annoying to plan this nice outing for her, only to have her literally say after 5 minutes or less "I want home". Example, yesterday I told her we were going to go to the pool after she woke up. She talked about it for a while and when she woke up it was the first thing she mentioned. She was really excited. We started our half hour routine to get her ready to go, including putting in the d*** sunscreen (yeah, sunscreen for half an hour outside on a cloudy day-but I don't want to be responsible for her getting skin cancer...), getting on her diaper, packing up all her little toys and then walking over to the pool. We get there and I kid you not, less than 5 minutes into being in the pool and playing she says she wants to go home! Are you kidding me kid?? I didn't just spend all that time getting you ready to go so we could leave 5 minutes later. I told her that her asking to go home wasn't really nice since this was a special treat and she should really try and enjoy it. That didn't stop her from asking 3 more times in the half hour we managed to stay. (I even got her playing with a little girl and I played with them. That usually distracts her enough and she has fun. Not this time-once or twice she asked to go home while playing with the little girl.) Argh! It's frustrating for me because I'm the type of mom that wants her to have as much as she can. If she were older and asked to go to McDonald's for lunch, I'd probably say yes. If we were getting an errand done and she saw a park and wanted to play, I'd probably say yes. I am going to take her on so many outings in the summer time when she's older, it's not even funny. I just want her to have a lot of fun and to get spoiled almost. So it's frustrating that I've planned a fun and special treat outing for her and a few minutes into it she wants to go home. Hopefully this is just a phase and is going to pass soon.
