Zoo and Other Updates

The boys and I went to the zoo this morning for storytime. We met Amy and her kids there and also saw Jennifer with Sammy. It was super crowded in the cabin today. It's hard because a lot of people have strollers and it was so cold that it's hard to get the kids out and leave the strollers outside. So everyone (including me) brings their stroller into the cabin and they take up a lot of room.

Carter and Caitlyn ended up sitting in the chairs for awhile after it got crowded ...


The animal that visited storytime today was a guinea pig. Carter gave it a quick pet and then tried to say it was Rylan's turn. He always tries to include Rylan during activities like this.

Ms Paula had another animal for the kids to color today. It was Carter's favorite animal - a monkey!

After storytime we went to the indoor play area again.

The kids checking out the degus ...


I knew Carter was playing with the tools but hadn't made it around the corner yet to see exactly what Carter was doing. This was the cute scene I came upon ...


Then he showed off his "patting" skills ...


Poor Rylan developed a bit of a cough this morning. He doesn't seem too sick yet and I think I also have a touch of something. Hopefully it passes quickly.

I noticed last night that Rylan's top two front teeth are starting to break though. His gums have been really swollen for awhile so hopefully his mouth will start feeling better soon. If you enlarge this terrible picture you can see the teeth ...


Carter has started calling himself "me" this week instead of "carcar". He doesn't use the pronoun 100% of the time, but he uses it most of the time now.
