Christopher and I went to the zoo today...it was really nice to get away and relax. Especially on a Monday! We did miss Daddy, though.
We spent about five hours at the zoo. Christopher was a little grouchy - he didn't sleep well last night - but he did pretty well. He did have a few temper tantrums in the chimpanzee exhibit. He didn't want to stop climbing in the exhibit, and he didn't want to leave it. I didn't know he liked chimps so much, but considering how much he likes climbing, it makes sense.
It was funny going to the zoo today and seeing the changes in Christopher. The first time we took him, he liked riding around in the stroller, but was kind of oblivious to most of the animals. Today he did not want to ride in the stroller - he wanted to walk, walk, walk - but he really liked seeing the birds, the bison and especially the sea lions. We got there at feeding time, and he yelled "Yay! Wow!" as they followed the trainers' commands to come out on the step and bark, roll, and do other things. And when they brought out a ball for the sea lions, he yelled "Ball!" and everyone laughed.
I'm telling you, we're lucky they didn't keep him. He seemed to fit in.
