Preston and I went to the zoo today - in January, and were able to eat outside! We were bundled, but not so bundled that we couldn't still be completely comfortable. The animals were all really active, which was great. He had fun chasing the peacocks (which roam free, and freak ME out), looking at "all those fish!" and watching the elephants who were really active. He was NOT a fan of the dark in the bat area, and almost wouldn't go in, but was okay if I carried him. I think we were there for over 2 hours, which is a record for us! We have a zoo pass from Mom and Dad, which is really nice, since if there's a meltdown or a day when the animals aren't doing much, we haven't wasted a whole day and a whole lot of money.
He, unsurprisingly, fell asleep in the car on the way home, and slept for few hours at home. I made some delicious home-made applesauce and Omaha Steaks hot dogs for dinner, which went over like a dream with the little guy (I haven't had a hot dog in a while - trying to stay away for the most part - so these ones were a nice treat!). After dinner, Preston helped me "neen up!" (clean up) some of the Christmas stuff, along with organizing my maternity clothes, which I now am almost exclusively in. :/
Now we're just hanging out, then off to bed! Here's a video from dinner tonight. This is a very typical dinner with this little crazy man! (I realized after watching this that at the beginning, he's saying he doesn't like "dinosaurs," not diaper. We have a dinosaur pop-up book that makes dino noises - he's not really a fan yet...)
