Since it was a pretty day out, I decided we'd visit the zoo in the morning. What a good idea; it wasn't crowded and lots was going on. The train was open, which was awesome. Jonathan actually enjoyed it, so that's great news. He held on to my thumbs -- like controllers -- so I think he felt like he was in charge. The loved the tunnel and pointed out lots of ducks as we passed the lake. He was so anxious to see the peacocks, frogs, and crows/ravens (why is that an exibit?!). What a combo! The turtles came in a close fourth, followed by fish (which we didn't see since it's still too cold for them to be outside). We could only stay for an hour because I was meeting a contractor at home. The entire way home, Jonathan ribbit-ed and caw-ed in pure joy. I was disappointed, though, that the contractor never showed up; he forgot me. So, we could have stayed at the zoo longer. oh well. We'll go back.

He was so excited to tell Dave about the zoo when he got home. More ribbits and all the colors he could say, although the frogs were only yellow, green, and blue. And, then a full cycle of all the animals we saw. he's a funny little guy.
