We went to the zoo! Hayden was terrified of the sheep. They're used to being fed those little petting zoo pellets, so they run right over and nuzzle in. She was not cool with that. She cried and clung to me, and I have to admit, in a little corner of myself, I really cherished that. She's not a big cuddler, so when she snuggles in, no matter the reason, I embrace it. (Pun somewhat intended). I'm not saying I plan to torture the kid with wildlife to get my mommy on or anything, but I do really love that I get to be the comforter sometimes. I love being the mommy who can make it all better. Of course, just getting her away from the sheep made it mostly better.
What did she like? The wolverine. I kid you not. That's what she got into. She couldn't get enough. She laughed and squealed and flapped her arms. She just thought it was the coolest thing ever. That and the big turkey. She clung to the chain link fence until we pried her little hands off, she was so into the big, gobbly turkey.
It was a perfect zoo day, springtime with little baby animals everywhere, nursing and being groomed by their mommies. A nice family outing.
And on the way home, we stopped for wine tasting. That was fun too.
