My really exciting day!

Earlier this week, I had a really really REALLY exciting day. First I got to go to the fun play place*. Then Mommy took me to the ZOO!! Hurray! I got to see all my favorite animals!** The peacock even let me sit next to him! Isn't he pretty?


And I finally got to go down the slide from the giant eagles' nest. I was a little scared at first and had to hold Mommy's hand, but I told Mommy that next time I would do it all by myself.


And then we got to go find Daddy and eat lunch at a restaurant! I love eating at restaurants. There were lots of other people there*** and I had lots of fun being the center of attention. My new friends at Stephanie and Jeff. Stephanie is a really nice lady and I sat on her lap and gave her hugs and kisses bye-bye. Jeff is my friend because he shared his dessert (with whipped cream on top!!!) with me! (Actually, Stephanie stole some for me, and then Jeff shared some more. It's because I'm so cute.)


Phew! After that I had to go take a nap.

When I woke up, Mommy and I baked lemon bars! Mmmmm, yummy. I helped. I'm a good mixer.


And THEN!! my best pal Joanna came over after dinner to play with me and do bedtime with me. Mommy and Daddy went away. I made them. I wanted Joanna all to myself!

Thanks for all the fun, Mommy and Daddy!

** i.e., all of them. No kidding. We were there for an hour, and she tore around and saw just about everything.
