We had a Barfy Toddler Incident yesterday, making a mess of Kate’s spiffy new car seat, but that seems to have been a passing thing, perhaps caused by an excess of cranberry juice while on campus yesterday morning greeting new students. Thus, we went ahead with our plan to take SteelyKid to the zoo today:
We only went through the part you can walk through– it didn’t seem like we’d have much luck getting her to sit still for the “safari ride” through the rest of it– and a lot of it was kind of shabby and depressing– small chain-link enclosures, animals scrambling for food from visitors, etc. But she got to see giraffes, and feed them some sort of crackers, which was a huge hit. There aren’t a lot of things taller than SteelyKid on Daddy’s shoulders.
And now, it’s time for all of us to nap, I think.
Oh those barfy incidents while driving! We’ve learned to avoid dairy products before long drives for my son…
