Zooin' It.....

Last Friday, Aunt Lisa and Grandma took Joel and I to Fort Wayne Children's Zoo for my belated birthday outing. Joel had such a good time! We had never been there, so it was all new to us. He got to get close to peacocks, kangaroos, and giraffes. He was jabbering the whole time and pointing at EVERYTHING! He also rode the carousel (loved it!) and a live pony (not so much). He did well on the pony at first, but once we went around the first time and he saw Grandma and Lisa he bailed off the pony and was done. Aunt Lisa took a picture of the pony coming back to the stable with no rider! He seemed to really like the carousel and was waving and chattering. He didn't want to get off! Of course we had to ride the train, too! His eyes were really wide and he seemed completely amazed the whole time. After the zoo we ate and stopped at the mall briefly. He was soooo tired on the ride home...he just crashed! He is doing really well and is changing daily. He is DEFINITELY a little boy now....no more baby! He has a sweet personality 95% of the time! We won't talk about the other 5%! More later...
