Zoo

We dressed you in your leopard print romper and then sent you out to greet the animals.

You ran, we estimate, at least a mile. We don't have to do the slow, barely-moving-while-our-one-year-old-dawdles walk with you because you are incapable of walking at a regular pace.

We got to see some bear training and I'm considering adopting the protocol for home use. Basically, the zoo keeper holds up a big shape (circle or star or square) and the appropriate bear then comes forward, noses at a mesh gate or sits on his haunches below a faux cliff, and is fed. It seems so simple. And the bears clear up all their scraps. They also bathe themselves and spend a LOT of time napping. HINT HINT.
