Petting Zoo

Jack had a great weekend! Sat. he got to spend the evening with Grandma while John and I went out on a fantastic date and on Sunday we met Nan and Poppy down at the Singletary Center for a petting zoo and art exhibit! Jack had such fun looking at all the animals! The picture to the left is of a goat that didn't mind at all when Jack reached out with both hands and grabbed two handfuls of hair! He also got to see and pet a sheep and a cow. We saw a donkey, a horse, and a llama, but we didn't pet them. I think Jack thought I was a little crazy making all the animal sounds in front of these big creatures - I'm sure in his mind a cow is a two dimensional two inch picture in his books, how could it possibly be the same giant that was in front of him! Anyway, the petting zoo was a lot of fun!
Let's see... other big developments from the week. Oh, Jack has mastered going up the stairs! It's a great way to tucker him out before nap or bedtime, just let him climb Mt. Boyd a few times and he's ready to sleep! He's working on both top teeth and we're hoping they come through soon - these seem to be much harder on him than the bottom two, but we've heard that can be the case. Swimming lessons were better on Wed. - the other teacher is SO much better!
Jack is preparing for his first overnight trip! On Thursday we're going up to see his great-grandparents (unfortunately John has a business trip and won't be able to make it). It should be interesting to see how he does not only on the 3+ hour car ride, but sleeping in someone else's house... Check back next week to see how it went!
There are a few updated pictures on the photosite too - sorry, we didn't take many pictures over the last week!
