Zoo Day

Hi everybody! Yesterday was a BIG day for me and mommy and daddy. Daddy took the day off work and we went to the city. We went to the zoo! This was my second trip to the zoo and I liked it even better this time. Mommy carried me in my sling the whole time so I could see the animals a whole bunch better. We went to the new part of the zoo where all the African animals are first. I liked watching the baby swamp monkey - he was really fast and he made me laugh a bunch. I liked the lion too - he was like a great big kitty cat. I wanted to pet him but there was glass in the way. He laid down right by the window where we were watching. I also liked feeding the giraffe. Mommy paid two tokens so I got to do it two times. The zookeeper handed us a handful of lettuce - I thought I was going to get to eat it - but then a big black tongue came and took it right out of my hand. My hand was all slobbery and I didn't like that part! Mommy and I even rode the merry go round. It went pretty fast - but I didn't cry at all. Daddy took pictures while we went around in circles. I tried to smile for him but I couldn't see him sometimes. Before we left we stopped to see my goats again. I really like those guys. They make me laugh and their fur is all scratchy. In the farm there was a bunny with really long ears this time. Daddy helped me pet him, but he wouldn't let me pull his ears.

I was really tired when we left. On the way home I slept until we got the Dr.'s office. When we were there I had to get my 6 month shots. I don't like getting shots. I screamed when the nurses held me down. But daddy said I was a big, brave boy because I stopped crying as soon as the nurses let go of me. I hope I don't have to get anymore shots for a long time!

Today mommy says we are going to go to lunch with her friend Cathy. I like her because we got to go swimming at her house earlier.
