Bryan has been at drill since Thursday so it's been a 4 day Mommy daughter weekend filled with chaos, love, laughter, and lots of nap time. I give my husband a big kudos for doing this every day he doesn't have to work. He literally is the man. Lately the weather has been really nice outside and I hope it intends to stay this way. I'm currently sitting on the rooftop typing this so I can get some sun, although I'm going to need a solid week in order for my pale skin to soak it in. Since my time at home with the little one all she wants to do is watch The Lion King. I have the movie down by heart now so instead of watching it ten more times today I figured I'd take Blakely to the zoo to actually see the animals. It was her first trip there today and although I wish the hubs was there to enjoy it with us, I had to take this adventure on my own. We had such an great time and I've never seen Blakely's expressions come more to life then they did today. I would have to say that the Lions were her favorite animal, following the Giraffes and Elephants. We stopped off at the Meerkat cave which she started yelling at them for digging. Blakely also pet this huge snake without an issue, I wish I was able to get a good picture but of course I didn't. Before leaving I wanted to get her something at the gift shop which took a good ten minutes pulling her away from everything. Failure of a choice on my part- She of course went to this 39 dollar tiger which I couldn't help but to laugh. We paid for a baby giraffe and went on our way. Walking to the car she held my hand which she RARELY does, (mom points for me) my happiness was quickly interrupted when this huge bird pooped all over me and my new "mom bag."
*Mom Bag: A bag big enough to fit half the household.
Overall we had a great time and moments like these and the millions of others I've had with her this week makes me wish I could stay at home with her more often.
Finishing with lunch at Wendys.. She couldn't have been more happier.
