Mom went to Vegas part 3

This morning was a bit early for Charlie, 6:35 a.m. and he was asking for Dad's help to get out. Of course, I tried the ignore it at first and see what ensues however that only worked for another 10 minutes. After that, he insisted. Of course, he was wet and wanted out, so when I told him he can go on the pottie he very interestingly, got the message across to me that he had asked me earlier to get down. It was funny how he put the words but it was clear that he had asked and didn't get the response he needed in time. Great form of communication.

After that it was a little TV time to get us past 7 a.m. at which point Charlie announced he wanted breakfast in his words...EAT...

I attempted the toast and egg and cheese meal from Ohio house, but I learnt later that toasting pumpernickle bread doesn't work for Charlie.

Oh well, cereal and a full orange did the trick.

After that we were off to the Brookfield zoo but since the Murphy's were running behind we stopped by to play with their toys for a while then off to the zoo.

This zoo has elephants so we headed for that immediately. Turns out that the big attraction was the giraffes. Baby giraffe was fascinating and the exhibit was great.

Elephants are good as well, but in the pavillion Charlie prefered the rhino's since they were very active and busy.

The trip home was only 15 minutes but Charlie fell asleep with part of his muffin in hand. After that it was a two hour nap at home.

After a snack we did the train route. On the brownline, off at the library, then on the red line and from there on the 66 bus to the house. We took our time but we never waited for either train and neither the bus. We played around all the way home ... it was great.

Dinner was great and since he was such a great boy, we ended with some ice cream...shhh...just don't tell Mom.

The time had advanced an hour so, in effect, Charlie was real late getting to bed. Mom arrives just before 10pm so better go change the clocks and clean up.

Sweet Dreams.
