Zoo Day.
There was a long list of things to do (involving Nolan's upcoming 1st birthday party) on this particular day.
In between naps, the only thing I can get done with Nolan around is play with him. I am not complaining. I would play with him over doing chores ANYTIME. On this day, instead of chasing Nolan around the house, I said, "Let's do it," to a friend's text message inviting us to the zoo with them.
Jon was working his normal evening hours, so it was just Nolan, our friends and me.
It was veeeery cold outside so it took me much longer than normal to get the the little guy ready to go. I bundled Nolan up with lots of layers and when he was finished, he very closely resembled Ralphie's little brother from A Christmas Story. What was that boy's name? All of the sudden I want to watch that movie.
There weren't many people at the zoo and lots of animals were out. Perfect. Except for the fact that the food stands weren't open. Hot chocolate sounded nice. :)
We trooped around and I had Nolan in his stroller. As usual, he stared at everything with is wide, beautiful, grey/blue eyes.
We saw an elephant that was so pregnant, her stomach moved in waves. Later a cougar swaggered up to the glass window and growled at us. Soooo awesome.
I quite enjoyed this time with my little boy. :)
