The afternoon snack at the children's center was turned into a Halloween party today. Henry sat quietly and ate while I stood a few feet away from him. He never got up or tried to get me to come over to him. But when I had to leave to come back to the library I told him goodbye--then he started to cry. I guess I should have just slipped out without saying anything to him, since he didn't seem to be paying that much attention to me in the first place. 
Last night when we got home Henry noticed a grasshopper on his slide.
He was scared of the grasshopper at first. When I touched it he felt a little more confident and touched it himself.
We didn't try to pick it up--I was afraid Henry might accidentally crush it. So we just watched it and nudged it with one finger.

I think it is always better to briefly tell them right before you go anywhere even if they cry a bit.
If you don't tell them they lose trust and always think you are goin to try and sneak out on them. I think they can't relax as they have top keep checking.
