Lions, Tigers, and Dinosaurs..Oh my!
















Today we visited the Brookfield Zoo! It was incredibly crowded due to the holiday weekend, but it was all worth it seeing James' expression while viewing most of the exhibits. I say "most" of the exhibits, because the dinosaur exhibit wasn't quite the reaction that we expected. Yes, James' favorite movie these days is Jurassic Park..but seeing dinosaurs that are life size, moving, and roaring at you from just feet away, isn't cool!. As we were walking through the path that lead to the dinosaurs, we spotted the T-Rex. I've never seen a 2 year old jump out stroller so fast in my life! He held onto Dada, tree frog style, and wouldn't even look at the dinosaurs! Naturally, we were laughing because it was pretty cute/funny! Mean parents! As we walked away from the dino exhibit, James became instantly tough and started yelling, "come here, dino-yaurs....bad dino-yaurs!. "

Other favorites of the day..the gorillas, rhino's, mere kat's, and giraffes! It was a fun day and we can't wait to go back!





Jammies by James




Yes, this is how James insisted on wearing his jammies. Perhaps it's a new look?! He is becoming extremely independent these days. Everything is "I do it!". So after letting him dress himself, this was the outcome. Cute on James....but now if Dada attempted to wear his jammies like this...hmm..would it be this cute?! :)
