Picking Connor up from daycare can be quite a chore. I normally pick him up around 4:45 every day. Even though I'm a teacher and finish the day at 2:30, I normally have things that I have to get down until around 4:30. It's a good thing I wait because I think picking him up earlier might be worse than it already is.
So- I pick him up and he's normally pretty excited to see me, but we can't leave right away. I normally have to sit and wait 15 or so minutes while he finishes playing with the other two boys. As soon as I try to put a hat on him, I have the famous "Noooooooooo" in a very whiny voice. Then he normally runs away from me into a corner. While I'm trying to get his hat on, I continually tell him that I'm just putting his hat on and he can continue playing. Normally his hat is back off the second I put it on.
Then there's the coat. That's another torture event. He also doesn't understand that all of his friends are leaving too. I think he would be okay with staying in daycare the whole night. Don't get me wrong, I'm glad he's happy to be there, but I would really like to go home too.
Does it ever end?

When I "have to do" something it's a chore. When I "get to do" something I can appreciate the opportunity.
Sounds like Connor already has created a new hide and seek game and your it. Try making him it by not chasing him and maybe paying attention to something or someone else; when he approaches you you can ask him if he's ready to 'get to go' home and play.
