Amongst The Animals

Big day today! Mommy and Miss Fuss accompanied Rachel and Spencer to the zoo. After a bit of a rough night (MJ has started waking in the night again) we were all a little tired, so around ten a.m. Wee Goblin went down for a morning nap. She woke up shortly after Spencer and Rachel arrived, and we were off! With the temperature in the mid 60s a little bundling was necessary, but didn't seem to bother Little Monster too much. She rode in the stroller for a little while, ventured into the petting zoo with some goats and sheep (no touching yet!) and then decided she had had enough of the stroller. We then progressed to the forward-facing Snugli, to which previous attempts were met with screaming. Not this time - as evidenced by Exhibit (Photo) 1, which was taken in the Reptile House. After about an hour of vigorous Moo Cow chewing and animal watching, somebody was getting tired and fussy, so we switched to chest-facing Snugli and within three minutes Slobber Goblin was out cold. As we were wrapping up the park, Madeleine woke up and peered about suspiciously from her burrow in Mommy's coat (Exhibit, or Photo, 2). Quite the character we have here.

Hi kids! Sara, Phil and Charlotte here. (P & C by proxy.) Just found your blog via the follow link on mine. Your goblin is too cute. And growing up so fast! Sounds like she and Charlotte have a shared 'passion' for naps. Looking forward to them meeting one day. Give her a squeeze for us.
