Suddenly We See
Ah, a delightful family outing this weekend: took Ian to the zoo. I think it's fair to say he thought it was the best thing since his discovery of macaroni & cheese. He points to animals now, and waves as well. The animals did not wave back, but undaunted, he kept it up. Every animal is "Dah," to him, "Dah" being shorthand for dog. This amused us at times:
"Look, Ian! An elephant!"
"Dah!"
"Look! A rhinoceros!"
"Dah!"
"Look! A Thomson's Gazelle!"
"Dah!"
I'm sure he won't bring this back up when he's older. Note to self: remember to scrub the website.
Sadly, no pictures, as we forgot the camera. D'oh. We may recreate his favorite pose later, him riding on my shoulders and compressing my spine in the process. He thinks that's swell. Maybe he'll become a chiropractor.
