We took Taylor to the zoo Saturday night. Yes, night. Every year the zoo puts up lights and you can walk through and enjoy the lights. I’ll admit I was disappointed at first. Too many people pushing and shoving to enjoy the lights and Taylor was half asleep. Well, we decided to wander over to the Children’s Zoo (I’d heard there might be reindeer, there weren’t). After wandering around to discover every section of the zoo closed off except for the lengthy line to the train, we were pleasantly surprised to find that the petting zoo was open! Taylor petted one animal and then happily watched daddy pet the rest of them. She also had fun telling each animal “night night” and blowing them kisses. It was a very late night that, while it started rough, ended quite happily. Needless to say, we didn’t do bath that night (we got home after 9!)
I almost forgot! We bought her a glow-stick necklace and she LOVED it. In fact, she insisted on going to bed with it. Brian and I laughed when we heard it fall between the crib and the wall. When we went to bed, we got it and put it our room. The next morning when she woke up she was reaching between her crib and the wall and saying, “Want that… want that…” I finally figured it out, gave it to her and she was happy again.
