Mothers' Day

Kyra gave me a WONDERFUL Mothers' Day present, she slept for 7 1/2 hours last night!! I know that most pediatricians consider 5-6 hours as sleeping through the night, so she's technically been doing it for a while most nights, but that just doesn't cut it for me!! I woke up feeling SOOOO rested this morning, it was wierd!!
Today after church we took Kyra to the zoo for the first time! :) She was very good and had a good time. The only part she really didn't like was the big life-size T-Rex that was part of the animatronic dinosaur exhibit. The first time he roared, she was just watching and seemed interested but the second time it startled her and she jumped and started to SCREAM!!! She calmed down fast though and she liked the "little brother" T-Rex that was by the gate. He moved and roared too but much more quietly. She also really liked the fish swimming. When we were headed out towards the exit, we stopped in the gift shop and since it was her first trip to the zoo, I was going to get her a little stuffed animal if there was one she liked that was the right size for her to play with. I showed her a bunch of little, bright colored toys. There was a red toucan, a green turtle and some little multi-colored monkeys. She either turned away or turned away and cried every time! Then when we were headed over towards where Phil was, she caught sight of a shelf full of Visayan Warty Pigs that were almost as big as she was!! She thought they were GREAT and started chattering away to them. We did NOT get one for her, as they were too big for her to hold. I told her she'd have to wait and ask one of her grandmas if they came to the zoo with her.
