We have absolutely LOVED going to the zoo this summer! Cooper loves seeing the animals...but he especially LOVES riding the "choo-choo". He can narrate the trip..he knows where the hippo stays, where the cranes are, when we go through the tunnel, pass the flamingos, and then the choo-choo goes "night-night"! It is so much fun to just be with him these days! I am amazed at how much he remembers and that he can now somewhat tell us what he is thinking! Although he hasn't been much of a talker, he has really just been taking everything in, and now he tells us a little bit of what goes on in that busy little mind of his! We have gone to visit the zoo late in the afternoon quite often! It's a great time to go for several reasons~no crowds, it's not AS hot, and it's feeding time for the animals so they're up and moving a lot more! That's how we got to see the red panda eating his dinner one night! Cooper stood and watched him for a very long time! He just kept saying, "he eat-in"! He also loves to feed the fish and the turtles! He has also fed those crazy lorikeets...but just once! Mostly, we watch Daddy from OUTSIDE the fence! We have had a BLAST with him this summer! I wish that I could freeze himin this precious stage of life that he is in right now...but then I remember that there are many precious memories to come! We are so blessed to be the parents of this sweet little boy!
