Happy April Fool's Day. We didn't play any tricks around here--everything I could think of was too cruel. And David was running a chainsaw all day, so I appreciate him abstaining from ER humor as well.
Dennis and I visited the Montgomery Zoo with my friend Allison. It's a beautiful zoo and we had a great time. Dennis loved the giraffes and elephants and the black bear and otters, and he especially loved the giant playground. He happily pointed out animals to us and talked to them ("bear come back" and "hey, otter"). He liked riding the zoo train but tried to jump out when we passed the playground. And when we left the zoo, there was a fire truck in the parking lot and they appeared to be training new firefighters on how to raise and lower the ladder. We all enjoyed watching, but Dennis was especially excited to see it. We couldn't have programmed a better day for him.
He accompanied us shopping after this and a saleslady greeted him and asked how he was doing. He replied "E-I-E-I-O". He also helped us shop for footwear, pointing at all the boxes and saying "nice shoes". He slept hard in the car and slept even harder once he got in his bed. It was an incredible day, and I can't believe he was so good all day long. What a lucky Mommy I am.
