The Zoo

Today we took Eli to the zoo. It's members first Saturday so the zoo opened for members at 8 instead of 9, which is neat because the animals are getting fed and are a lot more active. I woke up extra early so I could go to the gym and get home in time to get the lunches made and everyone ready and out the door by 8. We got out the door by 8:12 which I think is pretty good! We had so much fun at the zoo. We took Eli to see the big cats first. The tiger was very interested in what was going on in the lion's area and couldn't stop looking over there but that gave us a great look at him. All the lions were out and very active. The guy lion is very vocal so we got to listen to him roar! After the zoo we took Eli over to Herman park for a picnic and to play. He had a great time on the play ground and with all the other little kids.

We got home by afternoon and spent the rest of the day at home playing around here. Eli only took a 30 min. nap so we didn't know how the day was going to go. But Eli was very good and very funny! He did the most interesting thing today he got the wipes and changing mat out and then came over and grasped Thomas' finger and stood on the mat. He needed his diaper changed! Then later he got his wipes out and brought them to me, he need his diaper changed again. I'm wondering if this might not be the first signs of him being ready to potty train (but that's probably my wishful thinking)! Eli also heard a roar on TV today and started roaring too. Now he knows what a cow says and what a lion says!

I look forward to seeing what tomorrow has in store for us!
