It’s the style nowadays…

Eleanor demonstrates her “animal sounds” knowledge

Ma visits daycare for a dry-run on picking the kids up before mom and dad are out of town. Des was excited to show ma how to walk down the ramp

Team llama children enjoy all colors of play-doh

For someone who has shown physical repulsion to particular sensory experiences, it is so curious how Eleanor insists on rubbing play-doh through her hair and across her face

This morning’s entertainment brought to you by a wind-up chick:

“RAWW!”

It’s very important to wear the proper footwear, be it for basketball…

…or while eating snacks

Eleanor and mom go one-on-one before dinner

Lovingly saying “bye-bye” to inanimate objects may have just jumped the shark

Too cold to dye eggs outside, mom readies the standard tools for an indoor batch

Eleanor was eager to participate, though her involvement was limited to “carefully” dropping the eggs in the dye

A rare warm Friday afternoon, it was the perfect afternoon for dad to bust Des out of preschool for some bike riding around the lake at Heartland Park. As Des was finishing his snack, a gaggle of geese descends to beg for his snack mix.

Mom grabbed Eleanor a bit later and joined us for some more prime goose watching

Des and Eleanor practice holding hands after dinner and impromptu downtown evening

Eleanor demonstrates why the infant car seat and stroller was being sold

Similar to another incident at daycare, Eleanor nearly gags at the thought of the bath “shaving cream” spray soap squishing between her fingers

Both kids seemed dubious that this shopping trip would indeed lead to the zoo. Dad also learned that you can’t hand a string cheese to Eleanor- she will find a way to bite/rip it open.

As Ella would say, “RAWW!”

The celebrated red panda was less than enthralling in person. Looked like an orange raccoon, didn’t do much.

With Eleanor learning the rule of holding hands, these two elicited multiple “aww’s” 

A peaceful photo, moments before Mr. Gorilla banged on the window and both kids jumping

Born January of last year, Kgosi is still small enough for the kids to refer to him as “baby gorilla”

Titled: Fries on the Serengeti, or how dad learned that an order of two fries at the African Grasslands restaurant is a significantly different portion than at the jungle. Not shown: other healthy foods like pouches, fruit and string cheese.

Upon entering entering the elephant complex, Eleanor began waving and saying, “HI! HI!” to the elephants 🙂

Sometimes even Eleanor takes a few minutes to fully wake up in the morning, but never without her new bunny friend

With a warm(er) day, it’s an evening outside after pre-school/daycare

A bit older and more eager, Des is jazzed to ride his bike around- even just in the garage while dad takes the trash and recycling out. Safety forever first, so Desmond requests his helmet
