Zoo and other stories..

We finally made it to the zoo on Tuesday! It was a yucky, sprinkly day but a promise is a promise! We got to see the lion (who was roaring), tiger, Hudson the polar bear,dolphins, sea lions, gorillas...It was funny because Samuel was so excited (really, he kept saying, "I so 'cited!!!") and then we got there and he wanted to hold my hand while he was in the stroller because he was scared of some of the animals. He wanted to make sure the hippos and bison weren't going to "get" him. But after a few minutes he was fine and raring to go!
The zoo has become a family get away retreat. We really enjoy going together and "getting away" from the city for a few hours. We get free passes so if anyone wants to come visit and go with us...(hint, hint!)

Samuel has been into giving everyone timeouts. The other day he gave Zakkai a timeout (not really sure why..) I just heard him saying, "Zakkai, you get a timeout. You stay there and get a timeout!" Then the next day he told daddy, "I not happy with you, daddy. You get a timeout and a 'panking." And to top it off, his toys have started getting timeouts, too! I guess he figures since he gets timeouts, everyone else should, too!
Zakkai is finally getting better, I pray! He has been sick for 3 weeks! He had a cold that kept getting worse and went into croup and another virus that caused a rash. Hopefully the poor baby can get healthy and stay healthy! Sick or not sick, he still loves to play. Lately he has been driving cars all over the house like his big brother:) He is getting closer to walking. He just looks like he wants to take those steps but still isn't quite ready. I'll be sure to post a video when he does!
Here is a picture of bathtime tonight! The boys love to splash and play. Tonight Samuel was giving his trash truck a bath because "it was dirty" and Zakkai was pulling up and down, up and down, as usual! Happy Easter to all of you!
