Year 3 – Week 16 – Day 1

There are a TON of pictures today because I just couldn’t decide which ones to use, they were all too cute! We were very excited to take Brendan on an outing to the zoo today! It was Nurse Vanessa and me and the boys, unfortunately Bill had to work.

When I asked Trevor, “Do you want to go to the zoo?”, his answer was, “Giant noodle, Trevor loves it.”
He was happy to show Brendan the enormous yellow curl that is the noodle.

We were also excited to see how Brendan would like feeding a giraffe. He was impressed!

The boys both liked that the baboons were right up on the glass. One baboon even gave Brendan a high five. Brendan was happy that there was glass in between.

They both like their zoo cups. Trevor asks for “Zoo coke refill?” because they get free drinks in these cups.

We went to the goat petting area. Brendan is signing “all done”.

He finally warmed up to the idea and would walk all around, as long as you didn’t try to make him go near a goat.

There are so many more things for Brendan to see, but we ran out of time. We will have to go back soon! Trevor really wanted a ride on the merry-go-round, but we had to go.
Overall, Brendan had an amazing morning!

We had to do some laundry because both boys reeked like goats! They were “helping”

Brendan figures that if he can’t get in, he will just play like that

Trouble.

Other than all that excitement, we also had a pretty bad fall-out-of-bed at 3:30am. Trevor was standing at the foot of the bed and must have toppled over the footboard. I only have this shot from the motion alert that happened right before the big bang and the loud crying. He was shaken but fine. No sign of any damage today.

Then there was the part where I had to pull a kernel of frozen corn out of Trevor’s nose with a pair of tweezers…

What a Friday!
